Glasgow City Council are ‘left in the dark’ as to when unmarked convoys laden with nuclear weapons pass through the city.

The council confirmed that it is their “understanding” that local authorities in Scotland, are “not informed” when the convoys – which can contain as many as eight nuclear warheads – are routed through their local area. They did so in a response, seen by Glasgow Live, to a request by peace organisation, Scottish CND, who had written to the 15 Scottish councils “affected by the transport of nuclear weapons” asking them to consider informing locals about the risks involved.
