Frack Free Dee

Frack Free Dee is a network of community groups campaigning against fracking and unconventional gas extraction in Cheshire, North Wales and Wirral.

Star Energy, formerly known as IGas, has given up a drilling licence in Cheshire and has put two plots of land up for sale 🙂 PEDL190 included the two potential fracking sites at Bridge Trafford and Mickle Trafford and also covered land at Ince Marshes.

Jim Cameron, a staunch anti-fracking and eco campaigner, has sadly died.

A kind and gentle man with a fierce mind, soft Irish brogue and hard conviction who helped hugely in our win against #Fracking in #Cheshire.

Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends 💛

Energy minister @mgshanks has indicated that the proposed ban on #Fracking won't include low volume processes, despite him hearing that the proposed fluid volume at #Burniston is higher than the volume injected at #PrestonNewRoad which caused earthquakes.

Laughing stock @Cuadrilla_Res has lost its bid for more time to restore its #PrestonNewRoad shale site after councillors refused permission. @frackfreelancs said the time had come for Cuadrilla to "clear up their mess, pack their bags and get out of town".

Village residents have called on energy minister @mgshanks to apologise over misleading claims he made about low volume #Fracking which have been widely quoted by @Europaoilandgas. The company plans to use the process at #Burniston in #NorthYorkshire.

Campaigner Dennis May is challenging energy minister @mgshanks after he falsely claimed that low volume #Fracking is "commonplace" in the water industry. The government is refusing to reveal the source of the information behind the minister's claim.

Energy secretary @Ed_Miliband has confirmed the government's commitment to ban #Fracking. In his #Lab25 speech, he said fracking would "trash our climate commitments" and wouldn't "take a penny off bills" or "create long-term sustainable jobs".

The possibility of #Fracking returning to #Lancashire has divided politicians in the Reform led county council from their "drill baby drill" national leadership. The issue has also prompted renewed opposition from campaigners and other political parties.

#Cheshire could face #Fracking if Reform wins the next general election according to @UE, the @GreenpeaceUK investigative journalism unit. Reform deputy leader Richard Tice said the fracking ban would be lifted so fracking firms could "drill baby drill".

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

Reform wants to "drill baby drill" if it wins the next election. The #FrackingMoratorium isn't written into law, so it's all too easy for a future government to allow fracking all over again.

Please sign the petition for a legally binding fracking ban 👇

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

Reform is telling the #Fracking industry to get ready to "drill baby drill" if it wins the next general election. @Nigel_Farage and @TiceRichard are already laying the groundwork in meetings with fracking firms.

#WeSaidNo and we're ready to fight again ✊

The Reform mayor of #GreaterLincolnshire has said a shale gasfield near #Gainsborough will be fracked if her party wins the next general election. @andreajenkyns has met with @EgdonResources and pledged to "drill baby drill" like a good little Trump toady.

Scarborough Town Council has voted unanimously against plans for low volume fracking in the #NorthYorkshire village of #Burniston. The Reform-led council gave its "full and unwavering support for local residents in their opposition" to @Europaoilandgas.

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

Energy secretary @Ed_Miliband is being urged to widen the fracking moratorium to include all forms of the process, whatever the volume of fluid used. @friends_earth is calling on him to do all in his power to close the loophole as a matter of urgency.

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

Cuadrilla, the turd that won't flush, has applied to extend the deadline for restoring its fracking site at #PrestonNewRoad. The company failed to meet the 8th June deadline to return the site to farmland set by planners and now wants another two years.

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

The MP for #Burniston in #NorthYorkshire, where small-scale fracking is planned, has called for a parliamentary debate on the issue. @MsAlisonHume said residents are "waiting anxiously" to see if @northyorksc approves the application by @Europaoilandgas.

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

A group of MPs is campaigning to stop all forms of fracking, including low volume hydraulic fracturing, by including them in the moratorium. A parliamentary motion has been signed by more than 20 MPs, all from the @LibDems and @TheGreenParty.

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

The fracking moratorium only covers injecting shale with large fluid volumes. Plans have been submitted to frack with small fluid volumes at #WestNewton in #EastYorkshire and #Burniston in #NorthYorkshire.

Tell the government to ban small-scale fracking 👇https://t.co/HF9CfjoGlJ

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

Lancashire County Council says it's taking action to ensure the restoration of Cuadrilla's former fracking site at #PrestonNewRoad after the company missed the planning deadline to return it to farmland by 8th June.

[Frack Free Dee @FrackFreeDee]

The government will consider all volumes of hydraulic fracturing when it bans the process, energy minister @mgshanks has said. "We are committed to banning fracking for good and any future decision on planning policy will take into account all volumes."
