STROUD District Green Party says there is too little public awareness of a fracking consultation currently being run by the government.
The government website gives information about the technical and environmental aspects of fracking – and gives visitors a chance to respond.
The consultation will close on Friday, August 15.
However, Greens are concerned too few people are aware of the consultation.
Green candidate for the Valley Ward district council by-election, Martin Baxendale, said: “For a consultation to be meaningful, people have to know about it and have chance to make their opinions heard.
“We want to encourage everyone in Stroud District to let the government know what they think of fracking.”
