Biofuel Plant in Barnsley

We are opposing a planning application for a biofuel plant in Barugh Green, Barnsley. Forests are being cut down to clear land for biofuels, which increases carbon emissions, damages biodiversity and uses land for our energy which should be providing food for local people. A full page with further information on this is coming soon.
