Independent: More than 100 protesters against fracking company Cuadrillas exploratory drilling programme in Balcombe must vacate the area by nine oclock on Tuesday morning after being served with an eviction order this afternoon. The six-week protest outside a potential fracking site in the West Sussex village was dealt a blow as a representative of the county council, flanked by bailiffs, visited the camp along the grass verges of the London Road with the order.

United Kingdom: Cuadrilla's Balcombe drilling may have broken noise rules
2013-09-08 10:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: A noise monitoring report commissioned by Cuadrilla showed that sound levels during drilling peaked 20pc higher than allowed. But the report said other "local activity' was probably to blame - as spikes were also seen when it was not drilling - and suggested that protesters and police may also have led to increased noise. Planners at West Sussex County Council said it was not clear "whether there has been a breach of condition' and that they had pressed Cuadrilla to quieten their operations...

Guardian: Residents of the West Sussex village at the heart of a battle over whether the UK should go ahead with fracking have complained at the ongoing protests against the controversial technique. Earlier this month, hundreds of protesters blockaded the site outside Balcombe where Cuadrilla is undertaking exploratory drilling for oil, leading to 29 arrests including that of green MP, Caroline Lucas. Although a camp of activists in a nearby field has now left, around fifty people remain at a 'gate camp',...

United Kingdom: The battle of Balcombe: West Sussex town is new front line in fracking debate
2013-08-25 19:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The people of Balcombe in West Sussex have plenty to thank Britains archaic land-owning system for. Sitting in the garden of Colette Randall, an anti-fracking protester who lives a few hundred yards from the drill site, there is nothing to see but trees, nothing to hear but birdsong. The owner of the Balcombe Estate boasts of the magnificent, airy wildlife habitat with beautiful, mature specimens of trees which his familys management of local forests has produced over the past 60 years, and...
