Inspector to visit fracking sites
The inspector of the Fracking inquiry in Lancashire will get to see for herself how shale gas drilling would work
The inspector of the Fracking inquiry in Lancashire will get to see for herself how shale gas drilling would work should it get the go ahead.
Energy company Cuadrilla are going to mock up a model of a drill for the inspector Wendy McKay to show what it would look and sound like.
They're appealing Lancashire County Council's decision to reject Fracking at Roseacre and Little Plumpton last summer.
Residents will be showing Wendy McKay around Roseacre and Little Plumpton so she can see for herself how Fracking would impact their lives.
There are reports that she will be taken up by hot air balloon so she can gauge how big the shale gas drills would be - should Fracking get the go ahead.
