We’ve just passed a huge milestone – over 100 public objections against the Foxholes Gas Well.
So we’re releasing our campaign song “Drawing A Line In The Chalk” as a download.

Any chance you could cover this and share James?

. @yorkswildlife.bsky.social Thank you soooo much for objecting to the proposed gas drilling at Foxholes in the Yorkshire Wolds!
It is such a massive boost to morale.
We are Drawing a Line in the Chalk!

Please have a peruse of our Briefing Document to see what informed our decision to oppose: bit.ly/3Jm1152
90% of our residents oppose this. Tiny village v Big Energy.
Please help us amplify our voice! #lineinthechalk
Just say No! Can you encourage Yorkshire Water to oppose?
Please help us in Foxholes 🙏

Serious health risk for local residents.
Threat to local water sources.
Danger to children from HGV construction traffic.
Destroying the Yorkshire Wolds.

Verdict: Egdon’s Foxholes plan is low benefit, high risk. The precautionary principle is clear—if harms can’t be ruled out, don’t drill. For climate, health & future resilience, the answer must be no. ✋ #NetZero #CleanEnergy #lineinthechalk

Policy: The UK has pivoted back to clean energy. Onshore gas brings minimal security, tiny economic benefit & no price relief. Without a full EIA, risks outweigh any reward. ⚖️ #PlanningMatters #lineinthechalk
Health: Drilling through a protected chalk aquifer risks water supplies for thousands. Even low-probability contamination would be catastrophic. Add noise, air pollution & methane leaks—and communities pay the price. 💧 #ProtectOurWater #lineinthechalk
Climate: In 2025, new gas isn’t a “transition fuel.” It’s fossil lock-in with no carbon capture. The UK’s carbon budgets leave no room for more extraction. Net zero means new renewables, not new wells. 🌍 #ClimateCrisis #lineinthechalk
Egdon claims onshore gas = “UK energy security.” But the Foxholes plan is tiny, risky & out of step with net zero. Here’s why this application should be rejected 🧵

Drill through a protected aquifer to extract fossil gas? Egdon’s plan gambles with drinking water, air quality & community health. The answer must be No!

We need Yorkshire Water to step up! Egdon Resources are planning to drill through our principal chalk aquifer in tiny Foxholes, North Yorkshire.
Help!
