'I explained I have to sleep with my bedroom window open all year round for my chest. I said 'how am I going to do that when there's a buzzing noise all the time?''

Across the Fylde Coast, residents, business owners and farmers are uniting on one very contentious issue.

The farms will be connected through a cable corridor, "wider than the M55 motorway", to the existing National Grid substation in Penwortham. Two substations in Kirkham and Newton will also be built on greenbelt land - but their sizes are somewhat considerable. Morgan and Morecambe plan to build infrastructure next to the equitation centre, causing concern for the animals themselves. Chris likens this to the incident in London, where horses from the Household Cavalry were seen bolting through the city's streets after becoming alarmed from a loud bang.

Chris added: "We all felt the vibrations when they were testing the fracking and it was like an earthquake - is that going to be the same? How can we insure against that? We can't, that's the problem. Customers will probably, voluntarily drop like flies because of the risk factor."Next door to the equitation and on the land where Morgan and Morecambe plan to build infrastructure is the land owned by a generational farmer and the father of Neil Critchley.

Pamela says she submitted her objections for the plans, outlining how she needs to sleep with the window open every night for air circulation. She added: "I explained I have to sleep with my bedroom window open all year round for my chest. I said 'how am I going to do that when there's a buzzing noise all the time?'"

"As a small parish council we've got limited clout, but we're members of LALC, that's the Lancashire Association of Local Councils and we've just set up a Fylde area energy working group to get members of other parish and town councils onboard and Fylde Councillors and also Lancashire County Councillors as well.
