News North Wales: Test drilling firm respects the rights of protesters
Wrexham Council planners rejected Dart Energy’s proposals in March to drill a borehole for gas.
Reasons for refusing the application included geological concerns over pockets of deep-seated gas and the potential effect on the area’s drinking water supply.
But the decision was overturned this month by an independent inspector for the Welsh Government, despite public opposition.
Now protesters have set up a community protection camp at the proposed site at Commonwood Farm, Borras.
