Today, Alexander Stafford, Member of Parliament for Rother Valley Alexander Stafford, has secured a debate in Parliament to discuss the ban on fracking in Rother Valley. The Adjournment Debate is scheduled for the evening of on Monday 28th September. Stopping fracking in Rother Valley and protecting the ancient villages of Woodsetts and Harthill which are threatened, is a cause Alexander has been championing in Parliament, and was the first topic he raised after being elected in December, when he called on the Government to make the moratorium on fracking permanent.
Alexander Stafford MP will be working closely with organisations Harthill Against Fracking and Woodsetts Against Fracking ahead of this debate but welcomes contributions from all constituents.
Commenting, Alexander Stafford MP said:
“I am incredibly pleased to have secured this important Parliamentary debate and deliver on my Election pledge to do so. On Monday 28th I hope to put forward our case that fracking should not be taking place in our beautiful Rother Valley community, and that we must protect the ancient villages of Woodsetts and Harthill.”
