No to Fracking
Fracking Quotes

There is a threat to British values - the British government
www.newstatesman.com
The government's plans are among the greatest threats to our freedoms, spreading intolerance in the name of tolerance. - Lancashire County Coouncil have announced the dates for the Roseacre and Preston New Rd planning meetings. We need a huge action to let the Councillors know that we will NOT tolerate a result that favours fracking. IF LCC pass these applications, which are for production under the guise of "extended flow testing" it will set a precedent for the rest of the UK and possibly the whole of Europe.5 days ago
Please come and join us on the 23rd June, Preston County Hall we need to make a massive presence and a lot of noise.

Less than six weeks to mobilise! - As David Cameron is busily appointing new heads and ministers including those involved in energy, the environment, climate change, etc, we examine the litany of planning breaches and disastrous technical failures incurred by Cuadrilla in Lancashire so far and ask if the gung ho Tory ministers who are pushing for fracking to go ahead even know about these issues. Do they even care? http://stopfyldefracking.org.uk/latest-news/what-could-possibly-go-wrong/1 week ago

"What you have to be able to do when you decide you want to hydraulic fracture is make sure there are no faults in the area. That's really very very important"
