Transcript

00:00Well, it's great news that East Lindsay District Council are pulling out of the nuclear waste

00:10project, the nuclear dump. They're not going to take part in it anymore. That's terrific

00:14news. But what we want is for them to stand with the residents and say that they now object

00:21to it and call on Lincolnshire County Council to pull out. If we can get Lincolnshire County

00:27Council to pull out, it stops completely. And that's what we want.

00:31They've got two motions that you're putting forward to the council today.

00:38Is that the message that you're sending to them?

00:41Yes. East Lindsay needs to ask Lincolnshire County Council to pull out. And second, we want

00:47compensation from nuclear waste services. We've got a talented team here at East Lindsay, good

00:52leadership. They spent a considerable amount of time in good faith on this project. It's been

00:58frankly a disaster. And now we want to be compensated properly for it.

01:03So how many communities would be affected if this went ahead?

01:08Well, there were eight nuclear waste services events in each of the communities. So it's

01:13between eight and 10 communities. They can't sell their houses. They're stuck. It's no good

01:18investing because of all the uncertainty. So it's been a terrible impact on a second community

01:25because this happened four years ago in Fettlethorpe. And now they've moved from a 67 acre brownfield

01:31site to 1,000 acres they've identified in the middle of the countryside and farmland.

01:39And that's what you're fighting for?

01:40That's what we're fighting for.
