Around 400 protesters gathered outside a planned fracking site at Preston New Road in Blackpool, Saturday, to protest against the UK government’s decision to allow shale company Cuadrilla to drill in the vicinity next year.
One anti-fracking protester said that "it smacks of hypocrisy when the local communities can object to a windfarm but have absolutely no control whatsoever when it comes to large scale hydro carboni extraction. It's just an absolute travesty."
Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Sajid Javid announced on Thursday that he had overturned the Lancashire Council’s rejection of a fracking site in the county.
