Rathlin plan a new well - West Newton B

Some residents local to West Newton recently received the letter below inviting them to an information session.

It says Rathlin are preparing a Planning Application for another exploration well- West Newton B.

Presumably this is because they've had to abandon their 1st £8million well after a monumental cock up that meant after 4 months of trying and gas leaks, they finally gave up, having conducted none of their planned tests.

In the interests of balance locals decided to hold their own event through Frack Free East Yorkshire.
That'll be in the pub, at the same time.
