"Several people got out of the car and two people managed to lock-on.

"The situation is being managed by police officers, and traffic is able to pass. However, there may be delays as traffic builds in the morning."

This latest protest comes after anti-fracking campaigners promised to stage “an unprecedented month of resistance” on the Fylde.
