Defend Lytham St Annes – Position on Fracking

Defend Lytham St Annes believe that, until it can be proven that the end-to-end process of fracking is safe, and that its negative impacts can be avoided, fracking must not be allowed to go ahead in this area.

• Fracking is an unproven and risky technology, which presents a clear threat to our town.
• Fracking will have an inevitable negative impact on the amenity value of the local area.
• Fracking will damage already fragile local industries like tourism and agriculture.
• Fracking could have a potentially devastating and permanent impact on our local environment.
• Fracking has been associated with significant adverse health impacts which are a cause for serious concern.
• Fracking is minimally regulated and has no specific regulatory framework or monitoring associated with it, as called for by the Royal Society/RAE before it can continue.

As a result we are are asking for your support in calling for a moratorium on fracking until the issues above are satisfactorily addressed.
