Trade Unions Vs Fracking – coach from MCR and Salford

On the 9th of June there will be another day of protest at Preston New Road as part of the United Resistance. This time we are particularly encouraging representatives and members of trade unions to come and show solidarity – though as always everyone is welcome. Bring your Trade Unions banner, get your union, your branch, your Trades Council to send representatives and message of solidarity to share with the amazing campaigners at Preston New Road. If you can, wear yellow. Latest details on the Facebook event page.

The coach will depart at 09:00 from Chorlton Street, Central Manchester M1 3JF
It will also pick up people from Salford Crescent station at 09:30.

The coach will then leave Preston New Road at 15:30 and will stop at Salford on the way back to Manchester.

Book your tickets (prices range from £5.98 – £11.37) via Eventbrite.

Don’t forget to bring a packed lunch.
There is a protest base at Maple farm with seating, shelter and toilets – a couple of minutes walk from the protest site. You are very welcome to bring children.

Fracking was banned by the local council in Lancashire after local people campaigned and won for their environment. The ban was later overturned by the Secretary of State Sajid Javid. Since then the local community has undertaken a further amazing campaign to resist fracking inluding daily roadside protests for well over a year. As people of Manchester we want to stand by our Lancastrian neighbours. Fracking anywhere puts the environment at risk for all of us.
