flag Lancashire Council rejects Labour’s fracking ban call, keeps moratorium, as UK plans permanent shale gas ban for environmental reasons.

flag Lancashire County Council, led by Reform UK, has rejected a Labour-backed call for a permanent fracking ban, replacing "fracking" with "extracting shale gas" in a revised motion. flag The council will commission an independent review of energy sources while maintaining the 2019 moratorium. flag This follows concerns over Reform UK's conduct and political gains, including cleared election overspending charges. flag Meanwhile, the government plans to introduce legislation to permanently ban shale gas fracking in England, citing environmental risks and a push for clean energy through projects like Great British Energy.
