Ask Bolton company A E Yates to stop supporting fracking

Paul Boron, Group Chief Executive of A E Yates Ltd

Fracking company Cuadrilla is preparing to drill for gas at Preston New Road in Lancashire - even though the parish council, local council and county council all voted against it. That's because the Government overruled local democracy and gave Cuadrilla permission to drill.

A E Yates, a civil engineering firm from Horwich, is helping Cuadrilla to prepare the site for fracking. We're calling on the Chief Executive of A E Yates to respect the wishes of the local community and protect people's health and the environment by terminating their contract with immediate effect.

Sign our petition today and help persuade A E Yates to stop supporting fracking in Lancashire.

By helping fracking company Cuadrilla drill for shale gas at the Preston New Road site in Lancashire, you are not only acting against the democratic will of local people and putting their health and the environment at risk, you are also causing serious damage to your company's reputation.

We call on you to show your commitment to social responsibility and sustainability by terminating your contract with Cuadrilla with immediate effect, and pledging not to work with them or any other fracking company in the future.
