Fracking protests 'ignore' fuel poor A heavy police presence remained outside the Cuadrilla site in London Road, Balcombe, despite the decline in the number of protesters. Two lorries entered the site, with demonstrators marching in front, linking arms as the vehicles made their way down the road. Campaigner Grace Blindell, 92, said she had come to Balcombe to show her support. She said: "It's something we all feel very strongly about. There are so many people against it so why is the Government going ahead. I feel passionately that we are going the wrong way. We have become addicted to fossil fuel. We need three planets and it cannot be done. We have got to learn to live in a different and sustainable way. We have got to see ourselves as part of our planet. A statement on the No Dash For Gas website said they had pledged to continue their resistance to fracking and the wider "dash for gas," in Balcombe and at other sites around the country. Discussions were taking place yesterday on how to continue to support the long-term camp at Balcombe and planning future direct action against fossil fuel use and extraction elsewhere in the UK, including at other proposed fracking sites, a spokesman said. Caroline Lucas, Green party MP who was arrested in Balcombe, said she was trying to stop a process which could cause enormous damage for decades to come, undermining efforts to tackle climate change and posing risks to the local environment. She is due to find out if the police will press charges against her next week.
