<p>The UK regulatory regime for shale gas is considered among the most robust and
stringent in the world. In October 2018 we established a Shale Environmental Regulator
Group (SERG) to act as a single-entry point for the environmental regulation of the
shale gas industry and bring the three regulators (Oil and Gas Authority, the Environment
Agency and the Health and Safety Executive) together to act as one coherent entity.</p><p>
</p><p>Local communities have met with the regulators at public information events
and community liaison groups. During fracking operations at the Preston New Road site
in Lancashire the regulators provided newsletters to residents and published information
online on ‘Citizen Space’, including inspection reports and results from environmental
monitoring. The regulators are visible and responding to community concerns.</p>
