We are looking to raise funds to create banners and posters to inform the public of BPs plans to ruin the Fylde.

BP and their partners are planning to bring cables from their wind farms on shore at Blackpool ripping a 100m wide cable corridor 30Km long across the WHOLE OF THE FYLDE, destroying more than 600 acres of greenbelt, farmland, and natural habitats, including two massive substations industrialising 90 acres of greenbelt and separation land (that’s almost 50 football pitches).

This will result in noise and dust pollution for up to 6 yrs. 24/7 buzzing from substations near schools, businesses and homes.

It will destroy wildlife habitats, cause flooding, ruin livelihoods, close businesses, and change the way we live.

There is a route that would benefit from the regeneration of its brown belt land and would deliver green energy faster, cheaper and in a much more environmentally friendly manner, but BP want a massive construction project to bolster its profits.

We plan to run protests and create banners and posters to inform people who have been sorely let down by their councils and previous MPs and are totally uninformed.

Donations here will help us deliver these messages.
