Help stop nuclear waste being buried in Cumbria
4 April 2011

The Government is looking at Cumbria as a potential place to dump nuclear waste underground.

West Cumbria and North Lakes Friends of the Earth are urging people to sign this petition to oppose this.

The petition was launched by Radiation Free Lakeland and is supported by:

  • West Cumbria and North Lakes Friends of the Earth
  • North Cumbria Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
  • Sustainable Carlisle
  • Cumbria Action on Climate Change
  • Cumbrians Opposed to a Radioactive Environment.

The groups are calling on Cumbrian councils to protect health and the environment and say NO to a High Level Waste Underground Nuclear Dump.

Help stop the disposal of nuclear waste in Cumbria by signing the petition.
