'We have to fight this': North Yorkshire village opposes fracking plans

Campaigners in Kirby Misperton say there could be a domino effect if council approves application next week

As you enter the village of Kirby Misperton, in North Yorkshire, the first thing you notice are the many signs dotted around asking visitors to respect the tranquility of the countryside.

There are the "No HGV" and "No dogs" signs near the village hall, a hand-painted "No bikes" reminder nailed to a post at the start of a public footpath, and a "No hunting" board reminding visitors that they are in a conservation area.
