Nothing to do with petitions just a cowardly bunch of councilors who have kissed goodbye to millions of pounds of investment and thousands of jobs. They already store waste at Sellafield and this would have been a lot safer.
And yes if they wanted to do it on my doorstep I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Think i'm with you on this one BB, its a problem that ain't going to go away and it needs dealing with and as you say they already store waste in the area and i don't think it would affect the tourist trade of the lakes, it doesn't now, didn't Copeland & Allerdale vote for it and it affects their districts the most?

ps i might add i have worked for a lot of years in the petrochem/pharmaceutical industry which has a worse safety record than the nuclear industry, i sit within a ticking bomb most days as i am at this moment, one spark and we're all dust!
