Seeing two hundred and fifty signatures for our home is overwhelming. I grew up walking these fields and knowing that so many of you care about protecting this beauty gives me real hope.

I have been walking through our fields this week and thinking about how much of our home is at risk. Your comments keep me grounded in the knowledge that we are protecting the place where we belong.

No fracking in the Blackburn with Darwen area. It's already being dug up enough not to mention the fact that the water supply will be contaminated yet again and there isn't a sufficient back up plan in place to solve this problem of water contamination!
No fracking in darwen. Already experiencing the impact of fracking test sites being conducted in the area....even the dogs have been turning their noses up at the water and they would ordinarily drink water from a rain puddle....worrying evidence of environmental harm from contamination
Fracking ruins the countryside and has been linked to minor earthquakes most of darwen has been built on culverts which at best would cause subsidence on a grand scale!
Darwen has enough issues as it is with collapsing culverts & pits & collapsing victorian sewers,and is too unstable to support Fracking - the town is overwhelmed with traffic, with inadequate roads & transport.
Even the Government's own DEFRA report admits that shale gas will transform a previously pristine natural region into an industrialized one, which affects tourism, fishing industry agriculture, organic farming and outdoor recreation...
Stop killing are land. This may not be in our future receipt is our children's
How can we possibly know what will happen when we fracture the rocks beneath where we live and disturb the ground in this way?
