We want Blackpool and Fylde College to cancel the plans to train Cuadrilla employees ahead of proposed fracking activity in Lancashire. We want them to end the acceptance of funding from Cuadrilla and focus on training students in engineering green alternatives to fossil fuels instead. Why is this important? By working with Cuadrilla, Blackpool and Fylde College took a decision to support an industrial activity which is extremely controversial, both locally and nationally. The decision to work in partnership with Cuadrilla was not discussed with the student body, despite it having an impact on the local community and the future of the Fylde Coast. Colleges and universities are in a position to make a stand for alternative energy sources and should train students to engineer ecologically healthy solutions to the energy crisis. Financial decisions should not be put before ethical, long term choices, particularly choices which enable the go-ahead of such a contentious activity. Please sign and share to raise awareness. Thankyou.
