Abstract

This report contains interim findings from research into the policing of the Barton Moss Community Protection Camp at Barton Moss, Salford, Greater Manchester, conducted by researchers from Liverpool John Moores University and the University of York. The camp was in place from November 2013 until April 2014 for the duration of the exploratory drilling operation conducted by energy company IGas Energy at Barton Moss. Camp residents and supporters engaged in a campaign of protest and direct action to raise awareness about the apparent dangers of hydraulic fracturing – better known as fracking – at Barton Moss. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) conducted a policing operation – codenamed Operation Geraldton – at Barton Moss over the course of the drilling operation conducted by IGas.
