Stand-off near Chester as second anti-fracking camp is established

‘A second anti-fracking camp has been set up near Chester where a stand-off took place during Thursday between campaigners and men wearing ‘enforcement agent’ jackets.

The small camp in Salters Lane, Mickle Trafford, is a spin-off from the nearby Upton Protection Camp in Duttons Lane, recently visited by high profile supporters Vivienne Westwood and Bez of Happy Mondays’ fame.

Like the original site, it is also based in a field where energy firm IGas has planning permission to drill a coal bed methane (CBM) exploratory well.

An online video indicates Thursday afternoon’s stand-off resulted in verbal exchanges only between campaigners and men in uniform, one of whom described themselves as ‘High Court enforcement’, and told activists: ‘You are trespassing’. But was unclear who had employed the men as they were unwilling to answer questions.’
