To Whom it May Concern,
The world is being told that the UK has a solution to the nuclear waste problem.
The proposal is to bury hot radioactive waste in Lakeland's leaky geology in a hole(s) 1000m deep by 25km square.
This is called Managing Radioactive Waste Safely and there is a timetable for first burial of waste deep under Lakeland by 2029.
The world is being told that a telephone poll shows Cumbrians are willing volunteers for this"solution" to the nuclear waste problem.
A majority of Cumbrian Parish and Town Councils have voted NO to the Dump. We the undersigned agree and say end this process now.

The local councils are still rejecting this plan but the developers are ignoring the public outcry. Contact your local representative today to demand they withdraw from the siting process. Post this link on Facebook to ensure our neighbors know exactly what is buried in these plans.

The geology in the Lake District cannot be a safe location for the storage of Nuclear Waste
Really stupid and dangerous plan. What poll? We did not get any such consultation.
First of all stop making nuclear waste! And then do not hide the mess we have already created but deal with it to give in peace asking for forgiveness to the generations to come..
This latest nuclear £$ con. will remove any chance humanity has to a runaway climate. First CON. "Energy too cheap to meter". It has & will drain resource's of ALL nuclear countries, & as we have seen, IT DOES NOT DETER. But just the opposite; the WMDs make war possible without the fear of reprisals. Whats the CO2 on the Fukushima catastrophe? A Western built & fuel supplied by Sellafield....STILL THERE!
Cumbria has said no to the dump so no means no just look at the gales smashing Whitehaven's sea wall selafield just a few miles away cars floating at Morecambe ask japan if they would have a dump

I agree with David. The geology of the Lake District is not suitable for a nuclear waste dump. Wainwright will be turning in his grave.
