A DEMONSTRATION against fracking in Lancashire took place in Blackburn town centre.

Members of Keep East Lancashire Frack Free (KELFF) stood at the Cathedral Quarter with banners and signs.

Dave Penney, of KELFF, said: "We are here today in Blackburn to make the public aware about the dangers of fracking.

"There are many areas across East Lancashire that have been licensed for exploratory fracking.

"I believe fracking is the single most important issue facing the electorate in Lancashire.

"They should know the facts and which party would impose fracking on communities."
