Residents in Roseacre will have their say on whether Fracking should take place in Lancashire tonight.

It's the first time that members of the public will give their views on shale gas drilling at the inquiry in Blackpool.

It's day six of the five-week public inquiry which is taking place at Bloomfield Road.

Energy company Cuadrilla are appealing against Lancashire County Council's decision to refuse permission for drilling at two sites between Preston and Blackpool last summer.

So far, organisations both for and against Fracking have spoken about whether it would impact health, climate change and how much noise the drilling would make.

Tonight, people who live in Roseacre will have their first chance to give their views.

Residents in Little Plumpton can have their say on Fracking at the public inquiry next week.
