Hydraulic fracturing of Lancashire’s Bowland shale in search of natural gas began on the Fylde during March 2011. Whilst the recent earthquakes on the Fylde have thrown some light on this activity, which is currently suspended whilst information gathered during the latest earthquake is considered by the British Geological Survey and the Department of Energy and Climate Change, the process still remains a mystery to much of the Fylde population. There is a distinct lack of information released about this process which may be purposeful; as people are learning more about the risks involved, campaigns against the activity are gathering support. Please sign the petition in support of STOPPING THE SHALE GAS FRACKING ON THE FYLDE. Protect our environment. Don't let greed win out.
