Stop Fracking at the Preston New Road site

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Today I was woken up by a 2.9 earthquake in Lytham
The previous day it was 2.1
The day before it was 2.1

Testing has been going on at the site since 2011 when a shock at 2.1 was caused and shut down the site for 7 years.

Now we have had 3 days of earthquake shocks

Enough is enough
