Stop Cuadrilla test drilling and fracking for oil at Balcombe, West Sussex.

In 1986, energy company Conoco drilled an exploration well on the same site that Cuadrilla will use, situated half-a-mile from Balcombe village. According to the Departmrnt for Energy and Climate Change's records, more than 50 oil and gas wells have already been drilled inthe county. Fracking is a particularly environmentally damaging practice, in a number of different ways, including the end use of any energy discovered. Put a stop to it now to prevent the further destruction of our environment. It belongs to the people, not to the Government and energy companies.
