Police & protesters scuffle at protest outside Cuadrilla Shale Gas site near Blackpool


A young anti-fracking protester surrounded and manhandled by police outside Cuadrillas shale gas fracking site near Blackpool. Protest held each working day outside Cuadrillas shale gas fracking site on Preston New Road, Little Plumpton near Blackpool where Cuadrilla intend to frack for shale gas. Protests are held each day in an effort to prevent Cuadrilla from fracking as protesters believe the process may cause earthquakes, which happened when Cuadrilla fracked at Preese Hall when Cuadrilla caused an earthquake of magnitude. The protesters also fear the process may pollute the land, air and aquifers.
