Cllr John Medland is calling on other Isle of Wight councillors to support his motion on the council's approach to fracking at tonight's full council meeting.
The Isle of Wight has a number of licenses granted by the UK Government to explore to drill for oil.
Onshore they are: Arreton 1 and 2 (PEDL 331); Sandhills 1, 2, 2z; and Chessell.
Offshore they’re off the south west coast of the Isle of Wight.
