    It's not clear how many or where. It comes as a new campaign group was officially launched in Ryedale earlier. 

    In May last year the first fracking operation in England since a ban was lifted in 2012 was approved in North Yorkshire.

    Councillors considered a bid by Third Energy to extract shale gas at a site near Kirby Misperton in Ryedale.
