68-year-old grandmother Nelly said: “To extract yet more fuel from beneath the fields of Lincolnshire and add more dangerous emissions to the atmosphere is, in my view, criminal and will lead to an unliveable planet.Xtinction Rebellion campaigners took part in the act. | Image: Supplied“That starts with our local leaders, our councillors.”
If both are successful, it would lead to the extension of the well and the installation of the pipeline before drilling took place across a further three phases.
