Aldermaston - "next generation" alert

jk | 03.12.2007 15:10 | Anti-militarism

Latest tng-alert (DEC 2007). The Ministry of Defence have lodged a planning application to build a High Explosives Fabrication Facility at the nuclear bomb factory. Immediate written objections and ongoing action required. Plus brief news on the peace camp, November blockade, etc. Get involved :)

The Next Generation (tng) Alert: December 2007


Object to Aldermaston High Explosives Fabrication Facility - Deadline 10 December 2007

"Replacement High Explosives Fabrication Facility building, associated outbuildings and access roads, vehicle turning areas, hard standings, blast protection, 8 x lightning conductor towers, security fencing, landscaping and temporary construction enclave."

Part of the relentless upgrade at AWE Aldermsaton, this fabrication facility is critical to the development of nuclear weapons. Objections to this application need to be made asap as the deadline is just over one week away. Please check out the links below and take a few minutes to send an objection. The more objections received, the more likely AWE will get conditions put on the application, or even have it referred to the Secretary of State. It's worth the price of a stamp and 15 minutes of your valuable time.

* Details of the planning application here:  http://tinyurl.com/2r26am
* Campaign materials - model letter and notes available here:  http://www.aldermaston.net/campaigns/tng/materials.php

News in brief

* Peace Camp has moved

After a semi-nomadic existence over the summer, the camp has now moved to a new site. This is on an area of land close to the fence - but outside the byelaws area - on the A340 roundabout. See  http://www.aldermaston.net/camp/visit.php for updated directions/map.

* 12 November Block the Builders blockade

Around 70 people showed up fro the BtB blockade of Aldermaston and Burghfield on 12 November. There were 13 arrests for obstruction of the highway. Both sites were blockaded for between one and four hours. See  http://blockthebuilders.org.uk for further details.
