RE Kirby Misperton Protection Camp. I am a local resident, a supporter and member of Frack Free Ryedale.

I applaud all you have done.

But unfortunately the time has come for direct action, or lorries will roll, fracking will commence and all will be lost.

Nobody on site advocates criminality or is encouraging anti-social behaviour.

Please, please, please bring your knowledge and gravitas to bear alongside others who gather from near and far at the camp (The Yorkshire Post, January 5).

Whether you approve or not, it exists and it would now be wrong not to acknowledge that sad truth and work with it, to influence it.

I passionately agreed that the battle for local hearts and minds is key, and without your support this battle will be harder. This is not the time to be divided.

The simple choice, a short-term camp or long-term fracking, which will leave the worst legacy for Ryedale, and the UK?
