A week or so ago number of Protectors were on the roadside by Wensley’s farm and noticed that a cow, which seemed to have been isolated in the field next to his house, had a very red udder. Today, while at Preston New Road I went to inspect Cuadrilla’s new...
Oh what a brave new dawn it was! Cuadrilla decided that even though legal challenges were still outstanding they would fire the starting pistol on the Shale Gas Revolution and start developing their pad at Preston New Road. “Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive” as Wordsworth wrote,...
Protest comes in many forms but few a beautiful as this heartfelt song from Andy Severyn, inspired by the trashing of the Valentine’s Day flowers tied to the fencing at Preston New Road. If you have a couple of minutes give it a listen please
Over on the stock discussion board “Hot Copper”, investors in Cuadrilla’s parent company AJ Lucas have been getting very jittery as protest slows down developments at Preston New Road.

It’s time for the Cuadrilla “Spot The Difference” competition. Readers who follow this blog may recall the trouble we had getting any answers from Cuadrilla’s “Community Information Line” (which is in fact run by their PR company Lexington Communications) We were trying to get the answer to three fairly simple...
It was interesting to see the breakdown of costs provided by Cuadrilla in their claim against Tina Rothery, and how they tried their hardest to limit the amounts spent and used the opportunity to support business in Lancashire. Along with the other costs making up the amazing £62,871 they tried...

You may have read about our concerns about the misleading statements being churned out by Cuadrilla of late and our frustrated attempts to extract meaningful answers from Lexington Communications who front up Cuadrilla’s “Community Information Line”. Well, it seems that they were finally able to provide an answer of sorts...
Continuing on from our post “There are more questions than answers” we have now had a response to the questions we asked the staff at Lexington Communications who man the “Cuadrilla Information line”. Readers may recall that we had 3 questions which their staff were struggling to answer: 1. What...
Having had no response from the Cuadrilla Information Line for 5 days we tried again this evening and got Joel’s colleague at PR Company, Lexington Communications – a bright lady called Charlotte who didn’t give her surname. (To be fair I didn’t ask for it). Apparently I may have to wait...

I look forward to him and his colleagues explaining his charter for earthquakes to the people of Lancashire, Yorkshire, the midlands, Sussex, Dorset and, indeed, Somerset who will be part of his dangerous experiment. Let me tell the Conservatives that we will hang this broken promise round their necks in every part of the country between now and the next general election."
