he government’s grand ges­ture of ‘clos­ing coal’ is con­di­tion­al on replac­ing it with gas. Frack­ing is a key part of that vision, but it’s meet­ing with resis­tance at every step.

The government’s grand ges­ture of ‘clos­ing coal’ is con­di­tion­al on replac­ing it with gas. Frack­ing is a key part of that vision, but it’s meet­ing with resis­tance at every step.

Upton is the country’s longest stand­ing com­mu­ni­ty pro­tec­tion camp. It’s due to be evict­ed any day now so that test drilling for uncon­ven­tion­al gas can start.

Lets put a red line around the UKs frack­ing front line. On Jan­u­ary 16th, from 10am- 4pm. If the camp is still in situ we can help build an excit­ing new defence and show our sol­i­dar­i­ty with the com­mu­ni­ty. If it’s been evict­ed and the drill is present there’ll be cre­ative ways to get in the way. This will be a fam­i­ly friend­ly event with some­thing for every­one.
