‘Anti-fracking protesters have attempted to stop a gas drilling rig arriving at Barton Moss in Greater Manchester.
Police cleared the road to allow energy company IGas onto the site, between Barton Aerodrome and the M62.
A man, aged 41, from the Glossop area was arrested on suspicion of obstructing police and the road, said a police spokesman.
IGas confirmed plans to build a vertical test well at Barton Moss but said they have “no plans” for fracking.’
