On Wednesday 28th January 2015, thousands of people showed up outside Preston Country Hall for a show of solidarity and resistance, as Lancashire County Council was meant to be considering planning applications from the fracking company Cuadrilla Resources for two of the largest fracking tests ever contemplated in the UK. If allowed to happen, each site would have 4 horizontal wells, producing tens of millions of gallons of radioactive and toxic waste, and opening the door to thousands more wells to be drilled across Lancashire (and the rest of the country).

It is likely that the applications will now not be considered for at least 2 months. Read more here: http://frack-off.org.uk/action/frack-stops-here/
