Strong Labour council, stronger local opposition.
Sure they'll put up a good fight but think even the demonstrators will have to admit they've not got much chance of winning on the marshes, their campaign already shows they believe the authorities are for it..... "A local campaign group, Frack Free Frodsham and Helsby, said this evening it was �incredibly concerned�, though not surprised, to hear the news from IGas. �Given the recent announcement by energy research company Protos/NERC regarding the development of an enormous site on the Ince Marshes, and IGas� existing planning application at Ellesmere Port, we are in no doubt that the intention is to develop fracking on a significant scale in this area of Cheshire." https://drillordrop.com/2017/10/05/campaigners-vow-to-fight-fracking-as-igas-announces-new-plans-for-cheshire/ Don't see how they'd expect to win really. Its an industrial area on the doorstep of Manchester and the Midlands and Britain needs gas.
Thanks Goldmap, reckon they'll get it too. Saw posts around the 26th asking why the igas stock rose think this may be the answer.. http://www.chesterstandard.co.uk/home/2017/09/26/gallery/ince-marshes-chosen-for-huge-energy-research-site-95897/ How they going to say no to igas with the B.G.S drilling 80 boreholes in the area? Will they even be noticed?
BBC - 05 October 2017 IGas has applied to drill a test well to fracture underground rocks to release gas at a site in Grinsome Road on Ince Marshes near Elton and Helsby...... IGas Website - Commenting John Blaymires, Chief Operating Officer, of IGas said: “This area of Cheshire has a proud industrial heritage, with excellent utility infrastructure and transport networks in place. There are also a number of significant employers in the area whose businesses rely on gas, which is something that we could potentially supply in the future, directly from the area. Today, eight out of ten homes use gas for heating, 61% for cooking and up to 50% of our electricity is derived from gas. It is clear that the UK needs a secure supply of gas as a bridging fuel until renewable sources can provide sufficient quantum and stability of energy for society’s needs.
