After years of being pushed back by community efforts to oppose fracking, the extreme energy industry is pressing ahead with plans to extract shale oil and gas using unconventional approaches such as fracking and acidisation across England.

With commercial-scale fracking sites at Preston New Road in Lancashire and Kirby Misperton in Yorkshire becoming active, Reclaim the Power is teaming up with local campaigners to discuss strategies and tactics to oppose these destructive industries.

In North Notts, the site at Misson was recently approved for exploratory drilling and the similar decision on Tinker Lane will likely be made on February 21. Other fossil fuel extraction sites are still receiving planning permission despite government pledges to decarbonize in the 2015 Paris Agreement.

We warmly welcome anyone with an interest in stopping the shale energy industry and who is curious about ‘direct action’ – what it means and how we might use it!

Welcome to arrive for refreshments from 6.30pm, ready for a 7pm start.
