Hold up Lancashire county Council decision to ban Fracking

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Today the government have over turned the decision by LCC to ban fracking near Blackpool. This decision is a disgrace as no one wants it here. The fracking will tack place on Preston new road just outside Blackpool. There are a number of homes that will be very close to the site.
Families with Children will now have to live next to this site, as there will be little chance of selling there homes to move.
