Local Assembly Member Paul Davies recently met with local branch members of the Friends of the Earth group, to discuss a number of important environmental issues including fracking.

He said, “It’s always a great pleasure to meet with the Friends of the Earth group and hear their perspective on some of the more pressing environmental issues of the day. Of course, the hotly debated issue of fracking was raised and the group made it very clear that they’re against any plans for fracking in the future. As I understand it, there are no proposals for fracking in Wales and I’ve made it clear that I currently support the moratorium on fracking until its impact on our environment and homes is properly assessed. I’m very thankful to the group for meeting me and providing me with plenty of information to scrutinise the Welsh Government with.”
