Uphold Lancashire County Council's rejection of fracking at Preston New Road.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Lancashire County Council made a democratic decision in June 2015 to reject Cuadrilla's application to frack at Preston New Road. This rejection has now been overturned by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. We call on HM Government to uphold LCC's democratic decision.

Overturn the Government's decision to allow fracking in Lancashire.
