28 Days Later: Please spread far and wide

A Rolling Block­ade of the Bal­combe frack­ing site, 1st Sep­tem­ber – 28th Sep­tem­ber

Frack­ing com­pa­ny Cuadrilla’s gov­ern­men­tal licence to drill in Bal­combe ends on Sep­tem­ber 28th. The gov­ern­ment may be allow­ing them to drill but they have no social licence from the peo­ple of Bal­combe to frack their land and threat­en their water sup­ply.  Nei­ther do they have any man­date to begin an entire wave of frack­ing across the coun­try. The vast major­i­ty of peo­ple in the UK want clean­er, green­er ener­gy.
After the upsurge of cli­mate activism at Reclaim the Pow­er in August, let’s make these last 28 days count. Let’s halt their work at Bal­combe, and also send a strong mes­sage to those want­i­ng to frack else­where.

A block­ade has been on-going at the drilling site, but trucks have still been get­ting through. Now it’s time to up the ante.

We invite groups from around the coun­try to come and play a part in a 28 day rolling block­ade.

Think cre­ative­ly and act respon­si­bly. Pick a week­day before Sep­tem­ber 28, gath­er friends and use­ful kit get your­selves to Bal­combe.

Frack­ing is stop­pable, anoth­er world is pos­si­ble.

* Peo­ple are remind­ed that this is a peace­ful block­ade and that the Bal­combe camp is alco­hol-free.
