Lancs Fracking Update (PR Marriott) – Fri 30th Jun, 2017hide details

With site construction at Cuadrilla’s flagship fracking site at Preston New Road in Lancashire drawing to a close, attention is turning to resisting the upcoming drilling phase of the project. Cuadrilla’s main drilling equipment is stored on it drilling contractor, PR Marriott, yard near Chesterfield. The drilling rig itself is still erected in the yard, and will take some time to pack down, but attempts are being made to take some equipment off the site already. An convoy of lorries was blockaded into the site for most of the day on Friday but this is just the first of many such convoys heading for PNR. A rolling blockade of the yard will likely continue for the foreseeable future.
