Fracking

Honiton Community Café are showing a new film by Frack Free Somerset which examines the potential impact of fracking and coal bed methane extraction in Somerset and beyond. The event is supported by Transition Town Honiton and will include an introduction by a Frack Free Somerset.

Honiton Community Café developed from an informal group showing films at the Monkton Wyld community, near Axminster, launched a community café of its own in January last year. A wide range of topics have been covered, ranging from environmental to economic, social, and political issues.

Project Co-ordinator Phil Foggit said,

“Community Café provides a valuable forum to consider important issues which may not get adequate coverage in the mainstream media. It aims to help educate and inform us about important issues and provide opportunities for the exchange of ideas and solutions."

Boston Tea Party Manager, Roz added,

“Boston’ Tea Party is always keen to encourage community projects such as this. If we can help to bring people together, to talk about important issues and build a sense of community then we are happy to contribute.”
