The Courier: Charity’s ‘ghettos’ warning over underground gas drilling
Environmental campaigners have warned that the poorest people in Stirling could end up living in ghettos next to sites being drilled for underground gas.
A public inquiry is to be held next year into proposals by Dart Energy to extract coal-bed methane from Airth, near Falkirk.
Now campaigners say that, if Dart Energy is given permission to press ahead with its plans, it could signal a green light for more drilling sites in Clackmannanshire and Stirling.
