Claire Coutinho votes to put Tandridge at risk from Fracking
On Wednesday night, local Tory MP Claire Coutinho voted against a proposed ban on fracking exposing Tandridge to government endorsed fracking. 47% of Tandridge is covered by petroleum production licences stretching from Caterham Viewpoint down to Felbridge. A recent assessment by the British Geological Survey suggests there are 4 areas in the UK which are potentially viable for the extraction of shale gas by fracking, including the Jurassic Weald Basin which includes Tandridge.
