Security guards tried to evict an anti-fracking camp near Cuadrilla’s Preston New Road shale gas in Lancashire this morning. Four officers and about 10 guards arrived at 7.20am at the “B & Q camp” on land at the Whitehills Business Park on the edge of Blackpool. During the day, several campaigners took part in lock-on protests and the security guards later withdrew from the camp. Police officers were also present.
