 Tuesday 9th February, London - Greenpeace has installed a life-like ten-metre fracking rig and drill at Parliament Square this morning to ‘bring the local impacts of fracking to the heart of democracy’.

A new Populus poll released today by Greenpeace shows that nearly two-thirds (62%) of people in the UK think their local council, not central government departments, should decide whether to accept or reject fracking applications in their local area. 

We're fracking George Osborne's village green!

Under the guise of newly-formed fracking company Frack & Go, we've arrived en masse in the picturesque town of Knutsford in George Osborne’s Tatton constituency, to give local people a taste of what might happen if George gets his dash for gas and fracking goes ahead locally.
