Stop Hinkley Information

Stop Hinkley is a local campaigning group opposed to nuclear power in Somerset and the UK. Formerly Stop Hinkley Expansion, the group was actively involved in the Hinkley 'C' public inquiry. Since then it has campaigned on safety, health, nuclear waste, nuclear transport, nuclear incineration, decommissioning and other issues related to the industry. We submitted a response to the 2003 Energy Review. Much of our campaigning is reported through the local and regional media and an appendix is attached with copies of many newspaper articles reflecting our concerns since the last Energy Review. During the current Energy Review we have co-hosted four public meetings looking at the risks from nuclear power and the better options as part of a sustainable energy policy. Reports of speakers' comments are referred to in the following text. At our meetings and through our newsletter we have collected signatures for a petition to the Energy Review Team, which is also attached.
