Want to know more about Fracking and the threat it poses to your community, the UK and the planet? Want to get organised? Want to take action?
You’ve come to the right place.
We suggest you start by watching this short film about fracking in the USA by the Ecologist Film Unit
The tipping point
We have just enough time to stop Fracking taking hold in the UK.
The industry is in its infancy and is vulnerable. Success lies with organised nation-wide community resistance. That means you!
Who will be affected?
Commercial production will see the whole-sale industrialisation of the British countryside.
Rural communities will be the first to be affected. Our locations map shows planning permission is being granted for test drilling and fracking sites in dozens of locations across the UK… and this is just the beginning. Applications are coming thick and fast, there may be locations that aren’t on our radar – if you have any information please get in touch.
Hesketh Bank, Lancashire hosts the most advanced drilling and fracking test-sites in the UK. Residents knew nothing about the proposed operations until they woke up to find a drilling rig in the cabbage field over the road.
It’s not in the interests of the drilling companies or local councils to be open or transparent. They know residents will be concerned. Don’t trust your local council to put your interests first.
“Argh! They’re planning to frack near me! What can I do about it?!”
Activists drop a banner from Blackpool tower earlier this year
Firstly, be inspired! People are already doing amazing things to fight fracking, including:
- Dropping a huge banner off Blackpool Tower
- Occupying Cuadrilla’s rig in Lancashire TWICE in a month and stopping drilling
- Organising a “Frackmob” at an industry conference in London
Secondly, read our article about how to set up a local group.
