CUADRILLA are claiming they have the support of local people in Lancashire. Well, there are far more local people against fracking than are for it and I am against.

Please don’t let large energy companies with deep pockets influence any council decisions to allow drilling for fossil fuels in our county.

This is not the way forward. It is a threat to our water courses and creates unnecessary risks to the environment.

Lancashire would be the first to allow this to go ahead and I, amongst thousands of other residents, am against this.
