Campaign group which fought off fossil fuel exploration near Wisborough Green marks ten years

As the first village in England to keep drilling for fossil fuels at bay in 2014, the constituted group of Keep Kirdford and Wisborough Green is marking its tenth birthday and has speaker Geoff Barnard from the South East Climate Alliance, talking about Climate Change at its AGM on Friday December 2.

The meeting is being held in the Village Hall, School Lane, Wisborough Green. It starts at 6.30 with a short business meeting followed by drinks and nibbles. The talk starts at 7pm. All are welcome.

Energy firm Celtique was denied permission to explore for oil and gas at the site by West Sussex County Council back in 2014.

While it looked like the company would appeal the decision and another for a site near Fernhurst, it confirmed in 2015 it would not appeal either case.
