Plans are afoot for an oil well on Leith Hill. Bizarre as it may sound, a company has lodged a Planning Application to carry out some exploratory drillings. As you can imagine, a number of local residents and users of the area have got a bit upset by this, and have set up a campaign website here http://www.thevirtualvillage.com/oilwell.cfm, with details of the plans and how to object to the application.
