Frack Free Upton (Chester). Call-out for support at New Protection Camp

In the early hours of Saturday morning, a group of people committed to protecting the environment from extreme energy extraction set up camp on Duttons Lane, Upton, near Chester in the field where Dart Energy plans to test drill for coal bed methane. The original planning permission for test drilling expired last year, but Dart took steps to renew it and looks set to attempt test drilling here. Our job is to stop them. For more on the growing resistance to Dart Energy's activities in the Welsh and English Marches, Nottingham, Falkirk... see these previous articles [ 1 | 2 | 3 ].

Solidarity, support and supplies needed. The Camp is about halfway along Duttons Lane, Upton, a turning off the A41, and the council seems to have just erected a new street sign to help you find it. Postcode is CH2 2PE.

EDL Outnumbered By Trees In Solihull - #edl @AntiFascistNetw

Saving their bus and train fares, antifascist campaigners in the Midlands left the anti-Nazi campaigning in Solihull town centre to us, the natural environment. Not afraid of bad weather (like the fairweather racists), we well and truly outnumbered an inconsequential fascist rabble repetitively chanting monotonous, moronic racist crap. Read more >>
