Fracking Mad
It’s been
reported how Labour controlled Salford Council have entered a 15 million pound
deal with Canadian firm Igas formally Nexes, to start Fracking from the last
green belt in the city, as early as next year.
Month’s before
this revelation was revealed Peel Holdings had been denied plans to start
building on same site, leaving Igas to pave the way and build a plant and explore
for the shale gas, in 2011 the government banned fracking from the UK after it
had caused two minor earthquakes tremors in Blackpool.
The land
where Igas, In partnership with the Salford City Council want to pump water into
the ground, to force gas out, is located off the M62 Barton Moss Lane, other
residents homes are Salford Rugby Grounds and Barton Aerodrome, both are very
close to the site along with many houses where people reside surrounding these
controversial plans.
Not Safe And Under Your House
Locals are
very worried and unhappy about the plans because it’s been noted how nobody has
been informed by the council, or local Labour Councillors, who say they represent
and speak for the community.
Salford
spokesman acting Northwest Regional Organiser, Gary Tumulty, British National Party tells site “It disgraceful
how the council treats this city, and we are just expected to put up with it, this
is people lives they are playing with and not a monopoly board, Fracking is not
safe, plans have to be scrapped before we have any tragedy, incidents on our
hands here”.
