To call for a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in North Yorkshire County Council

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Today North Yorkshire County Council voted against massive public opinion to allow a fracking licence be granted for Kirby Misperton in North Yorkshire. Over 99% of the public in Ryedale have said no to fracking. This shows that the elected body of NYCC do not represent the people.

An application to carry out fracking in England for the first time since a ban was lifted in 2012 has been approved.
North Yorkshire County Council considered a bid by Third Energy to extract shale gas at a site near Kirby Misperton in Ryedale.
Hundreds of protestors had attended a meeting in Northallerton to voice anger at the project, which was previously recommended for approval.
Councillors on the council's planning committee voted 7-4 in favour.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This petition has been rejected because the UK Government or Parliament can't pass a motion of no confidence in a local council, this is something that the elected local Councillors could do. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
