Well, it has started...
Fracking began on the outskirts of Blackpool on Thursday 18th October after a 7 year fight to stop it, and at every stage of appeal it was overruled.
in 2015 Sir Nicholas Soames said that fracking would be carried out in low populated areas where upset would be minimal to local population, and stated that because Sussex WHERE HE LIVES, is of high population, it would not be allowed there! I do believe that any part of Lancashire is more densely populated than Sussex, and yet he said that the Trough of Bowland, An extremely beautiful area of natural beauty and well populated by both tourists and sheep, cattle and hill farmers, would be a GOOD PLACE TO START!!!.
Since fracking started full speed on Thursday, 5 days ago the local area, including a WHW Horse sanctuary, business properties and business offices has been subjected to 5, yes FIVE earthquakes and/or tremors!
I am not normally political on this or any other forum, as it is usually a waste of time, because no one ever agrees and we just talk round and round in circles,but it is worth knowing for all those doubters that each of these earthquakes registered on or around 0.3 on the Richter scale meaning that they were fealt above ground as well as below, and by the nature of fracking, WILL only grow worse, to the point of causing structural damage to our homes and businesses.
Unless this evil business of fracking is halted
.any county is fair game...
..object to your MP before this becomes a country wide disaster, AND stop it in your county...
.it might be too late for Lancashire but please safeguard your own.
