Nuclear Power

On Sunday April 27th we’ll show the strength of opposition to the government’s push for new nuclear plants at the Surround Springfields demonstration in Lancashire. The plant near Preston is pivotal to the government’s nuclear plans, as it manufactures nuclear fuel and processes the waste material, so it’s vital that we take a stand here.

We have Surround Springfields leaflets, so please get in touch and we can post them out to you. You can also contact the organisers at springaction2019@stopnewnuclear.org.uk.

Recent events have shown the importance of our campaigning against nuclear power. Already one of the proposed new nuclear plants, Wylfa Newydd in Anglesey, has been put on hold — coming not long after the scrapping of Moorside in Cumbria in November. Internationally, Spain has just announced plans to close all its nuclear power stations in favour of renewables.

But with several new plants still planned and Hinkley Point C under construction, it’s no time to rest on our laurels.

INF Treaty

Since the last groups mailing, the United States has announced its withdrawal from the INF treaty. This is a very dangerous moment for the whole world.

To keep up our campaign to save it, this week we have launched a new action urging people to ask their MP to sign EDM 2073, which demands the INF treaty be brought “back into full legal force.” Click here to see the action page and please share it widely.

CND Shop

Lastly, and just in time for this unseasonably warm weather, we are delighted to unveil our new eco-friendly CND logo water bottles.

Perfect for selling on stalls or using yourself, these 500ml bottles are made of durable and lightweight aluminium, feature the CND logo and are available in several colours.
