“Back to Back wells” at Horse Hill? Public meeting in Charlwood
27th November 2019 @ 7:30 am - 9:00 pm
Local residents are invited to a public meeting to find out more about the expansion of oil drilling that has been permitted at Horse Hill – and the legal challenge to it.
Surrey County Council has granted Horse Hill Developments Ltd permission for their next stage of work at Horse Hill.
This includes drilling 4 more oil wells (to reach a total of 6) and a water reinjection well (which have been known to cause earthquakes elsewhere), and 20 years of oil production. All in an area prone to earthquakes – and a time of climate emergency!

The Weald Action Group is supporting a call for a Judicial Review of Surrey’s decision.
Speakers at the meeting will include Sarah Finch, the claimant, and, by video recording, Estelle Dehon, barrister in the case.
