Nuclear convoys: did you know that nuclear warheads could be driving through your town?

Join CND, NFLA and Nukewatch for this online webinar to discuss nuclear convoys.

Convoys carrying nuclear bombs often travel along Britain’s roads, putting at risk the communities which they travel through. No radiation warning symbols are carried and neither the public nor local authorities are warned of these nuclear convoys. This webinar will discuss these convoys, the dangers they pose and share how you can get involved in tracking them as part of the campaign to scrap Trident.

Speakers TBC.
