Nuclear Convoy Halted

On the 21st of October a convoy of nuclear warheads was stopped in its tracks on the Newcastle by-pass by activists from Nukewatch and Tyneside Action for People and Planet (TAPP).

The convoy was delayed for 20 minutes as 2 women locked on to a cab, and a man got on top of the carrier. Below him were live warheads on their way back from servicing in Burghfield. The action took place in a very public area and achieved lots of local media coverage.
