Lancashire County Council has agreed with Cuadrilla to extend the time period to make decisions on planning applications for shale gas development at Preston New Road and Roseacre until 30 June 2015.

The council issued this Press Release today. Although the official consultation period ended on the 17th April you can still Submit Objections to Cuadrillas Fracking plans. The decision has now been delayed by over six months but Fylde residents are determined to keep the pressure on.

The date of the decision is up in the air, but with more time to organise and summer on it’s way, resistance is fertile…

 

“Grassroots opposition is growing all the time across the Fylde, the UK and everywhere this industry puts communities under threat. We will fight this all the way.”

The Residents of Roseacre full statement

Now is the time to put even more pressure on Cuadrilla and oppose their fracking plans at Preston New Road and Roseacre. For each of these sites Cuadrilla will require 20,000 vehicle movements, between 24-36 million gallons of fresh water and produce 13 million gallons of radioactive liquid waste and 3,500 tonnes of hazardous solid waste. This would be dwarfed by the 100’s of sites and 1,000’s of wells required for full scale shale gas production in the North West.
