WHAT’S HAPPENING AT MISSON?
IGas are attempting to drill 2 exploratory shale gas wells off the Springs Road in Misson, Nottinghamshire, with the long term goal of creating dozens of fracking wells across the countryside around Misson. Construction of the exploratory bore hole has begun, but progress is being slowed down by the protectors and other concerned locals.

HOW DOES THAT AFFECT ME?
If fracking goes ahead in Misson it could spell disaster for the rest of the county as it would be the first site to fall in a long list of Notts areas that fracking companies such as INEOS, IGas, and Third Energy are seeking access to – Notts sits on top of large tracts of shale rich land and many PEDL licenses have already been granted by the Oil and Gas Authority, including such precious spaces as underneath Sherwood Forest and the land around Clumber Park.
Fracking is linked to serious risks to public health, and affects communities that are adjacent to frack sites through issues such as groundwater contamination, falling house prices and threats to agriculture and wildlife, to name but a few.
