A petition's been set up to overturn the Government's decision to allow fracking Lancashire.

The Communities Secretary announced, last week, that he was giving Cuadrilla permission to drill for shale gas at a site on Preston New Road, saying it will bring the county opportunities.

Campaigners say it's been done against the will of the people of Lancashire and the council they elected.

More than ten thousand people have now signed the petition meaning the Government will have to respond.
