A fun bike ride with a difference! Come and see how our beautiful countryside is being affected by the oil and gas industry. #TourDeFrackUK#DontDrillTheWeald
Awesome new video from @SoapboxEN about the TourDeFrackUK and other bike rides that took place around the country this summer to raise awareness of the danger that #fracking poses to our beautiful countryside: https://t.co/POhe29J99s Here's a taster...
Did you enjoy the TourDeFrackUK earlier this summer? Then save the date for @frackfreesyorks' LE TOUR DE FRACKSHIRE on Sat 22nd Sept from 7am-6pm taking in the proposed & current fracking sites in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. 3 routes of 90, 30 & 5 miles each.
Fancy a #bikeride this weekend? Then pop along to Maple Farm on Preston New Road in Lancashire, PR4 3PE at 11am this Sunday & show some solidarity with those opposed to #fracking by riding from Cuadrilla’s shale gas site nearby to its proposed next site at Roseacre Wood.#WeSaidNo
Good news! After local concerns were raised about the unusual seismic activity in #Surrey recently, the British Geological Survey have decided to set up two monitoring stations in the county to gather more information about what exactly is going on there. #DontDrillTheWeald https://t.co/ztErNPSXgr
Here's a lovely video featuring Connie Whiston, one of the 6 local women going to court to stand up against UKOG's injunction: https://t.co/DaFDL5XHxq. PLEASE COME ALONG TOMORROW at 1.15pm at 7 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Ln, London EC4A 1NL for just a few minutes to support them.
This inspiring video shows that if you're fighting to stop #fossilfuels & stem the flow of carbon into our atmosphere then you are not alone but one of millions of people across Europe & the world who are standing up now to combat #climatechange#KeepItInTheGround#hope https://t.co/TGYvFihZ7j
A movement is growing to stop fossil fuels across Europe. From coal mines to gas pipelines and fracking to drilling, people are saying "not here, not anywhere".

Is a representative from the Oil and Gas Authority going to go and check that what UKOG told them is in fact true - i.e. that they have not begun flow-testing / drilling at Horse Hill prior to these earthquakes? https://t.co/gHLvuZCsj0
After earthquakes started happening in Blackpool near the Preese Hall drill site in 2011: https://t.co/A2asFlEaYg the BGS concluded "Earthquake occurence strongly correlates with the injection of fluid..." Cuadrilla only admitted to the connection 6 months after the earthquakes.
The BGS said they can't say if the #earthquakes are connected to drilling or not, UKOG claim that they haven't started their flow-testing, BUT the BGS do say that there have been "NO OTHER INSTRUMENTALLY RECORDED EVENTS IN THE REGION IN THE LAST 50 YRS." https://t.co/Dbgt1t2Nwx
Back in April UKOG said there was no connection between drilling at Horse Hill and an earthquake that occurred in that area (see @ruthhayhurst at Drill Or Drop https://t.co/y9EFOoDoJ0) - now that they have begun flow-testing at Horse Hill, there have been 2 more earthquakes!
Flow testing began at Horse Hill around the 27th June (https://t.co/dFDUzSiM5K) - now two #earthquakes, a danger often associated with unconventional drilling / #fracking, have occurred in Newdigate & Charlwood on 27th/29th June. (https://t.co/3KCpPgwZJt) Is there a connection?
Watch this video made by Ross Field about Leith Hill Protection Camp where he interviews the camp's residents about the danger that drilling for #fossilfuels poses to this area of outstanding beauty & to the UK: https://t.co/urFKxPusZf … #KeepItInTheGround#DontDrillTheWeald
The court hearing for the UKOG injunction in the south east of England is happening next week - PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT at 7 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Lane, London, EC4A 1NL at 1.15pm. The more of us there are the better! #PeoplePower#InjunctionInjustice#DontDrillTheWeald https://t.co/UDlcIQvdHO
