Fracking Company Cuadrilla Pushed Lancashire Council to Remove ‘Biased’ Community Group Chair

Shale gas company Cuadrilla asked Lancashire county council to help it remove the chair of a group set up to discuss the local community’s concerns about its fracking site, DeSmog UK can reveal.

In an email exchange with the council, obtained by DeSmog UK through a freedom of information request, the company said it had “significant concerns” about how the group was being run, and asked the council to “support the appointment of a replacement chair”.
