Big Blockade at AWE Aldermaston

Posted: 9th March 2010

February 15

Four of us were there to support the blockaders and talk to a variety of other campaigners, including the young people who are setting up a CND group in Bournemouth. They spontaneously sat down in front of a contractor’s lorry trying to get in through Tadley Gate when it was clearly blocked by those there from faith groups, causing it to back off, one of many actions that day.

The MoD Planning Application for a replacement facility for storing and handling enriched uranium had been approved, subject to conditions, by West Berkshire a few days previously.
