In response, what do you think of the case made so far by those interviewed?

• Are the protesters a vocal minority, trying to hold the tide back? Yes, No?
• Three years on down the consultation path, Is there an element of inevitability to the final outcome?
• Should we be negotiating hard for further guarantees, not trying to turn our backs to the metaphorical builders lorry hurtling down the road towards us.
• Where does the argument go next, what further questions should be asked and to whom?
• Or, is it all completely irrelevant as the nearby impending Fracking projects, will in future just cause the ground beneath our very feet to just part and swallow us up?
