Stop US nukes coming to Lakenheath
Stop the return of US nukes to Britain!
Stop the return of US nukes to Britain!
Last week, it was reported that the UK was quietly added to a US Department of Defense list of NATO nuclear weapon storage locations in Europe earmarked for upgrade. It’s believed that the location in question is the US Air Force base at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk – located just 70 miles from London.
110 nuclear warheads were stored at RAF Lakenheath until they were removed in 2008 following persistent popular protest. It remains unclear if these free-fall B61 gravity bombs have already returned to Britain, but their reintroduction must be opposed! If allowed, the UK will become the sixth European NATO member to host US nuclear weapons.
CND is calling on all supporters to mobilise for a national demonstration at RAF Lakenheath to say no to US nukes!
- Saturday, May 21st – assemble at 1pm outside RAF Lakenheath, Brandon Road, Suffolk, IP27 9BU.
- Coaches will be arranged from across the country, and transport will be available from Norwich rail station.
More information and list of speakers coming soon.
