We're still fighting... And need your help!

After a summer of droughts, wildfires and unbearable heat the impacts of climate change on life in the UK has never been clearer. It still baffles me that anyone would think that digging up fossil fuels is a good idea.

We started this campaign to protect an important green space on the edge of Surrey Hills, an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, from an ill-conceived carbon-heavy drilling project that could cause severe damage to Surrey Hills, and could open the door to future projects that will add to the UK’s carbon footprint

The Government has overruled Surrey County Council and has granted UK Oil and Gas Ltd (UKOG) permission to start exploratory drilling for hydrocarbons near Dunsfold village.

Neither local nor national interest is served by imposing this project on the local community, whilst sweeping the serious environmental consequences of continued fossil fuel exploration under the rug.

We’re already seeing the devastating impact of the climate crisis locally. Scenes of wildfires ripping through Surrey and London, destroying people’s homes and public spaces, have brought our collective future into sharp focus.

There has never been a more important time to do everything we can to protect the environment and preserve our precious green spaces.

That’s why we are taking action now, and we want you to join us.

We have partnered with the Good Law Project to help us take legal action and appeal this project. Any donations will go towards legal fees to stop the drilling for Oil and Gas. 

Please keep sharing this petition, and, if you can, donate to our CrowdJustice Page. 

We will keep fighting. Thank you, 

Darcey
