Do you live in Trafford, or know anyone that does? If you do, either you or your friends or relatives are now on the frontline of the battle against fracking.
Fracking company iGas have already been drilling at Barton Moss in Salford, testing for shale gas and coal bed methane. Just across the Manchester Ship Canal, Davyhulme is next in their sights.
iGas have moved on to a patch of land by the M60, opposite the Chill Factore and next to the land earmarked for the biomass incinerator.
They have applied to extend the existing planning permission to extract coal bed methane over a period of 25 years, and we expect Trafford Council to decide on this on Thursday 9th October.
Whilst the window for the public to object to this application has closed, there is still time to put pressure on Trafford Council to refuse planning permission.
If you’d like to help with our campaign, please download our petition using the link below and ask any Trafford residents you know to sign it:
