Fears that “dangerous” fracking could be allowed in Wirral have been raised in parliament, with a Wirral MP saying she is “extremely concerned”.
The government paused fracking implementation in November 2019 due to concerns about managing “seismic activity”. The pause followed numerous protests from environmental groups over several years, with worries about potential risks such as earth tremors raised.
But Margaret Greenwood, MP for Wirral West, fears fracking may be back on the table as the UK looks to move away from importing Russian energy.
