Protest as tests start at Balcombe oil site
Sussex Express, The Newsroom, 18th September, 2018
Protesters gathered in Balcombe today after an oil company moved onto land in the village to start testing a controversial oil well.
Worried villagers and mums gathered in protest as oil firm Angus Energy started to prepare the site at Lower Stumble for exploration.
Hundreds of protesters set up a large roadside camp in the summer of 2013 when Angus’ associates Cuadrilla first drilled the site.
