Opposing a Nuclear Waste Dump in Lincolnshire

I have opposed the threat of a nuclear waste dump on the Lincolnshire Coast since the proposal came to light several years ago. In that time, residents have had to live with the uncertainty, worry and financial costs of having this monstrous carbuncle threatened in their area.

Having initially been looking at the brownfield site of the former gas terminal at Theddlethorpe, NWS are now looking at the land to the north of the A157, south-west of Gayton wind farm, between the villages of Gayton le Marsh and Great Carlton for the above ground part of the Waste site.

This means a potential site being less than five miles from the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and could now be closer to the historic town of Louth than it is to the coast where the waste would actually be stored.

With an area of focus being identified, I was calling for a public vote this year, however welcome the news of the two local councils withdrawing from the Community Partnership, which will put an end to NWS looking at this site.

Response to Nuclear Waste Services expanding site search
