Direct Action Workshop at Upton Community Protection Camp with Vivienne Westwood
Channel: Talk Fracking
Date: 2015-12-08

On Saturday 5th December 2015, Dame Vivienne Westwood participated in a direct action workshop hosted by Talk Fracking, at the Upton Community Protection Camp in Cheshire. The camp is facing eviction by bailiffs after High Court judges granted a possession order to iGas. Massive local opposition has resulted in Labour snatching the council majority away from the Tories. iGas is hoping to begin highly controversial Coal Bed Methane exploratory drilling before their current planning permit expires in May 2016.

The Council is now challenging iGas' current permit as there are questions over the validity of a new survey the company has suddenly produced in retort to questions raised about their environmental impact assessments.
