Fracking application REJECTED at Planning Meeting THURS 20th

Resounding victory!
The  Planning Committee unanimously rejected the Llandow application for test-boreholes for #fracking, mainly on the basis of Dwr Cymru arguments on  possible contamination of the groundwater.

BBC Wales broadcasted demonstrations outside the Civic offices live at 18:45 tonight.  The result was later broadcast at 22:30 by Cllr Nic Hodges (Plaid).

Congratulations to theValesaysNo campaign and all who joined in!

This unanimous rejection of the Planning Officer's recommendation should not only stop past practice of facilitating resubmission of a similar application, but also cause Rob Thomas to reflect on his rejection by the ruling Tory group and consider resigning.
