Good Law Project joins campaign against Surrey Hills gas drilling
Surrey Hills

THE Good Law Project announced today that it supports a campaign against the government’s decision to allow exploratory drilling for fossil fuels on the edge of an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The non-profit-making organisation is backing the Surrey activist group Protect Dunsfold Ltd’s (PDL) statutory challenge to the decision.

Ministers’ decision to allow work in the Surrey Hills area came as Britain sweltered this week in record high temperatures of up to 40.3°C and after the High Court ruled the government’s strategy for achieving net-zero carbon emission to be inadequate and unlawful.
