Mass trespass!! Anti-nuclear campaigners gather for Hinkley Point protest -UK

It will be addressed by ex-nuclear workers, local residents, band Seize The Day, and guests from Fukushima and the anti-nuclear movement in India.

Theo Simon will read a statement prepared from the notes of Crispin Aubrey, the local Stop Hinkley campaign founder who died last week while organising the event.

 

On Monday, the new leader of the Green party, Natalie Bennett will be joining the mass trespass when protesters aim to scale the fence surrounding the land designated for the new power station to plant seeds to symbolise their hope that a third nuclear plant will not be built on the site and the land revert to nature.

 

Campaigners say they expect arrests.

 

Anti-nuclear campaigners from all over Britain are converging on Somerset today for a mass rally to be followed on Monday by a ‘mass trespass’ at the proposed site of the Hinkley C nuclear power station.

Today hundreds of protesters are due to help to wheel symbolic barrels of radioactive waste through the streets of nearby Bridgwater.
