Abandon Trident to save billions for public services

Closed 37 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe the Trident nuclear programme is dangerous, unnecessary and over expensive, especially when public finances are stretched to breaking point. Trident development, deployment and renewal should be stopped immediately.
The money saved could be used for the NHS and social services. These services desperately need to be well funded.
