“ So much has happened since then. There has been so much conflicting information. People can come and hear the latest news and information on fracking in the Fylde.

“How will the wells be drilled and fracked? What protection do UK regulations offer in 2017? Who is monitoring our air and water and what are the consequences for us who live here?”

He said his experience in the oil and gas industry offshore gave him an insight into the operation s which have begun with the drill site at Preston New Road, near Little Plumpton.

He added: “This is not a pro or anti fracking event. It’s about information and facts answering questions and giving people the initial impetus to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.”
