Campaigners at Fracking Site in Lancashire, UK

Volunteer campaigners, from areas facing fracking across the UK, block the entrance to the Preston New Road fracking site in Lancashire, England, with Greenpeace UK.
The campaigners, from areas facing fracking, like Blackpool, Preston and Manchester have safely linked their arms inside reinforced yellow blocks, adorned with the Lancashire Rose, to create a “Frack Free Zone” blocking the entrance to the site. They intend to stop preparation works for the first UK frack for gas, after the government overruled the local council decision to reject planning permission.
