'Not For Shale' Protest at Lancashire County Hall

Greenpeace targets Lancashire County Hall with a ‘not for shale’ roadshow as opposition to fracking in Lancashire keeps growing as new figures show the number of people backing calls to stop shale gas developments in the region has trebled in the last six months. Fracking firm Cuadrilla has submitted planning applications for shale gas exploration at two sites in Lancashire – Preston New Road and Roseacre Wood. A decision by the council planning committee on whether to grant permission is due in October.
A total of nearly 6,000 local residents have expressed their opposition to the controversial industry by backing a Greenpeace petition urging David Cameron to ditch fracking or by joining a legal block to stop under-house drilling.
