Anti-fracking activists have worked hard to try and disrupt any activities at the Preston New Road construction site. This is located near to Blackpool and those who work in engineering jobs will know how frustrating this can be. Fracking has been suspended at the Preston New Road and this comes 7 years after the initial work caused a lot of seismic tremors. Those who work for the environmental campaigning group have stated that they have lost a court battle and this was supposed to stop Cuadrilla from carrying on with their work. The company wanted to try and restart their operations and they also wanted to try and stop their fracking activity as well. It has been reported that two different protestors from the group have chained themselves in the road across from the site. They did this to try and stop anyone from causing issues but police have stated that the protestors are going to be removed. They believe that Cuadrilla are going to carry on regardless of the people who are going to be protesting, but not much else can be said about that.

Of course, it is important to know that the Lancashire council have rejected two applications so far and this is going to help them to stop resuming fracking and on top of this, they have stated that the noise is far too much. They have also stated that the idea of doing it was not good enough to justify the means. That being said, this application looks to be going through because the UK is very dependent on this kind of energy and therefore a lot of work needs to be done to try and make sure that this work can continue to some extent.
