Do you have a link please? I can't find any news reference later than 14th October when Cuadrilla claimed not to be abandoning fracking.

The BEST news. Well done, Boris & Co for rethinking this dreadful practice. And a huge well done for all those tireless and persistent protesters in Lancashire. You did so well and must be feeling very relieved.
