The Frack Stops Here 2

June 23, 2015 @ 09:30 - 19:00

This is it, the big one; the first planning application for an extraction of shale gas in the UK.

23-26 June Lancashire County Council will be voting on two applications for shale gas extraction and a number of new applications for exploratory drilling. The Planning Officer has recommended they are rejected, but a vote earlier in the year was postponed due to a legal challenge by Cuadrilla.

With the Planning Committee about to be reshuffled we don’t know which way they will vote.

The plan is for a there to be a big, visible presence on Tuesday 23rd June from 9AM as the counsellors arrive.

Please bring banners and signs and be prepared to make a lot of noise.

The plan for the day is:

9:30AM Petition hand in

1PM A ‘creative action’

5PM Speakers

Alternatively a number of us will be getting the train, leaving at 08:16 from Platform 14 of Manchester Piccadilly Station.

If we can stop this in Lancashire it may never come to Manchester.
