After almost a thousand days of protest, Cuadrilla has abandoned its fracking site at Preston New Road in Lancashire – but is the company gone for good, or is this just a temporary reprieve for the local community?

At the end of September, Cuadrilla announced that it would be removing its fracking equipment from the site. A series of tremors meant that work at the site had already been halted until the Oil And Gas Authority had conducted a technical review, a process that is still ongoing.
