Local people do not want a new nuclear power station on Anglesey

A recent online poll in the North Wales Chronicle showed that 80% of responding to the poll are against the building of a new nuclear power station on Anglesey.

This is very much in line with our experience in collecting signatures for a petition: a clear majority of people we have asked are willing to sign in opposition to new nuclear power on Anglesey or anywhere else in Wales or the UK.

As a premier tourist destination, Anglesey is damaged by the presence of this dirty, dangerous industry.

In addition to tourism, there are many better kinds of employment for the island -- in information technology, in agriculture, in renewable energy, and in many other kinds of clean industries and businesses.
