A new week begins with a 8 man lock on at Cuadrilla Fracking site.

Seems to be pretty clear now things are building.

Maybe the Frackers should consider packing up and going.

Hearing that huge events are planned soon.

Well when democratic decisions are trashed and warnings are not listened to what can you expect.

This government make decisions that annoy so many, they just do not listen only to their corporate pals, lobby groups and anyone who cares to donate huge sums of money.

It does not matter who they hurt along the way,well it seems that way to some.

 

Police on scene at Preston New Road where 8 protectors have locked on to various devices to resist the fracking industry and their hideous plans to frack Lancashire.

 

Resistance at the gate. Can someone tell Francis Egan and Sajid Javid please.

 

Michael Gove Will Create Environmental Chaos

Environment Misses Out

Environmentally, the Conservative Manifesto was left nothing short of wanting. The majority of pledges were industrial and business-orientated blah, with not so much a sprinkling of environmental fervour. Oh, aside from this throwaway comment:

 

“We pledge to be the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than we inherited it.”

Aftershock: The Giant Gas Field That Rocked the Netherlands

Decades of production from Europe's biggest gas field has brought a new menace to this quiet part of the Netherlands: earthquakes that have left residents grappling with insecure buildings and falling property values.

Live Updates from Fylde fracking meeting

More than 450 people filled Lytham’s Lowther Pavilion Theatre for the first town-hall style meeting on fracking in Fylde for more than two years. The event has been organised by Fylde resident and engineer, Mike Hill. DrillOrDrop is reporting live from the meeting.

Now let us check their track record so far in Britain.

CUADRILLA RESOURCES PLANNING BREACHES & TECHNICAL FAILURES

And Cuadrilla and companies like them want thousands of these pads across Great Britain.

And Sajid Javid despite so much opposition smashes local democracy to pieces and says Frack away boys.

A Fracking nightmare.Updates as soon as i hear more.

Now i have not yet got to the bottom of the water problem.I wondered whether to put it on earlier.

But just proves how people are concerned.

Latest i am hearing.

Cuadrilla never admitted any such thing.
It's not that an underground well has been hit. The flooding is from the water table. However it has still held the drill up until July when Reclaim the Power arrive, which is superb news.

So what does water table problem mean.Ground is so soaked that run off occurs,i am not sure.

But surely a possible problem for the future. More news as i receive it.Updates.

Question on fast-track fracking in Lords yesterday...

Lord Truscott:

The Conservative manifesto stated that legislation would be introduced to permit non-fracking drilling as a permitted development; major shale planning decisions would be the responsibility of the national planning regime; there would be a new shale environmental regulator; and there would be changes to the proposed shale wealth fund. Now these are all apparently out of the window. Are Her Majesty’s Government still committed to shale in England, have they been won over by Labour’s argument that fracking should be banned, as it is in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, or do they simply believe they cannot get the legislation through Parliament?

I will carry on till i know the exact cause of this water problem for sure.Get to the bottom of things.

Just found that this has been sent today.Freedom of Information request to Environment Agency

Dear Environment Agency,

 

I understand from my telephone communications with the Preston Office today that Cuadrilla have contacted the EA in late June, to report that their works had resulted in an unexpected hit on Artesian Water at the Preston New Road Well Site which has resulted in the subsequent flooding of the well site.

 

Please can you provide a full copy of all correspondence between yourselves and Cuadrilla to detail the incident which caused flooding on the Preston New Road site, to include:

Think how much cleaning out a water table will cost if its ever possible?
