Lancs Fracking Update (PNR) – Fri 30th Jun, 2017hide details
With the threat of Cuadrilla’s main drilling equipment beginning to try to move on site soon (though the drilling rig itself is still erected in the PR Marriott yard near Chesterfield) resistance at Preston New Road is stepping up a gear. Last night two towers were constructed at the gates and this morning people are locked on blocking the gates. Currently a pair of small drilling rigs are on site, drilling the initial conductor casing in before the main rig arrives. Lancashire communities are continuing to resist construction of a new fracking site by Cuadrilla Resources at Preston New Road near Blackpool. A rolling blockade of the construction is taking place daily outside the site and is having a significant effect in disrupting Cuadrilla’s plans.
