LEP: Was decision over Lancashire’s fracking plans right?

A small majority of people say a decision to reject fracking plans in Lancashire was the wrong one.

Following the decision by Fylde Council to reject plans submitted by Cuadrilla Resources, the Evening Post asked readers online if they supported the decision.

The online survey found that 57 per cent (3,434) did not think the decision was right- and 43 per cent (2,610) did.

Fylde Council objected to fracking for shale gas at Plumpton Hall Farm, Preston New Road, Westby, and at Roseacre Hall Farm, near Treales. But they didn’t object to monitoring operations at Grange Road at Singleton and at Plumpton Hall Farm.
