The former fracking company, Cuadrilla, has lost its bid for more time to restore its Lancashire shale gas site at Preston New Road, near Blackpool.
The controversial issue of fracking in Lancashire has divided Reform politicians in the county from their national leadership.
The fracking company, Cuadrilla, has revealed it is to seek two more years at its mothballed shale gas site near Blackpool – just four days before the land should have been returned to agriculture.
The fracking company, Cuadrilla, has been given just over four weeks to start plugging the shale gas wells at its mothballed Preston New Road site in Lancashire.
Lancashire County Council is expected to announce by the end of January what action it will take on Cuadrilla’s fracking site which is now in breach of planning permission.
The UK’s most controversial shale gas site has failed to meet the deadline to plug two fracked wells – putting it in breach of planning consent.
Members of anti-fracking groups in Sefton and west Lancashire have been paying tribute to their friend and campaigner, Moira O’Mahoney, who died recently.
Opponents of fracking have been paying tribute to Fylde councillor Julie Brickles, who died yesterday (Thursday 25 July 2024) after a long illness.
People living near Cuadrilla’s mothballed fracking site in Lancashire say they are disappointed about the lack of progress on plugging and abandoning the wells and returning the land to farming.
Cuadrilla’s plan to decommission its fracked wells in Lancashire is already behind schedule.
