A human block­ade at the end of Moss Lane has left a con­voy of tankers backed up onto the A57.

Pro­tec­tors have swarmed the vehi­cles and climbed on top. Come down to sup­port and stop frack­ing at Bar­ton Moss.

Three pro­test­ers have been arrest­ed at Bar­ton Moss after they climbed two sta­tion­ary lor­ries at the site refus­ing to get down for more than an hour.

Police brought in the Pro­test­er Removal Team to bring the men down, after they were for­mal­ly arrest­ed for obstruc­tion.

The men final­ly came down after offi­cers assem­bled tem­po­rary scaf­fold­ing and lad­ders and ordered the men to remove them­selves from the lor­ries deliv­er­ing to the iGas frack­ing site.
