Stop talking about nuclear waste being disposed in Cumbria

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

There has been talks of disposal of nuclear waste in Cumbria. This will not be met well by the public if it catches to major news outlets and should be stopped and perhaps a law to be made to make sure nuclear waste cannot be disclosed of in populated land/ ocean bordering population.

Places in Cumbria, barrow in furness as an example has suffered over the years due to neglect and environmental damage. Adding nuclear waste to the mix would only further destroy a once proud land and deepen the impact the neglect shown will have on its population building distrust and dislike with the government further impeding the government's job of being able to represent us the people as is democracy.
