The head office of a shale gas company who are drilling test wells on the Fylde coast has been vandalised.



Cuadrilla is drilling at sites on Preston New Road, which has become a hub for anti-fracking protesters.

It follows a verdict made by ministers to give the energy firm permission, taking the decision away from Lancashire County Council who rejected the plans.

Francis Egan, CEO of Cuadrilla, said:

“This pathetic, mindless stunt in vandalising our head office highlights the intimidator and criminal tactics frequently resorted to by anti-fracking activists. The rational basis for their opposition is as lacking as their respect for the law or for others. We are getting on with our work developing shale gas for the benefit of Lancashire and the UK and will be supporting the Police in investigating this criminal act.”

Unfortunately it's what certain folk will resort to when companies, just like governments start walking in, stepping on toes & disrupting a local area due to excessive greed.
