Anti-frackers plan mass site protest
‘Blackpool and the Fylde could see huge anti-fracking protests next month with as many as 1,000 protestors camping out, a national campaign group has said.
Members of No Dash For Gas, an organisation of activists and campaigners, are to stage a Reclaim the Power action camp near Blackpool.
They say it will be similar to the one which stopped Cuadrilla drilling for six days in Balcombe last year.
But businesses in Blackpool have blasted the idea fearing it will damage tourism and cost a fortune in policing.’
