The Lake District needs your help, urgently!

Its coastal areas of Millom and Gosforth are under threat, due to plans for a massive nuclear waste dump, also known as a “Geological Disposal Facility”.

The government’s proposal is for a 50 km2 square, mine works, 1000 metres deep, so that old and new nuclear wastes can be buried and abandoned over the next 200 years.

That radioactive waste will be super-hot and potentially unstable, due to hydrogeological forces from the complex Lake District geology (including coal deposits under the planned area!) The science isn’t settled, despite reassurances, and top geologists have repeatedly questioned the plans.

What can you do?

Everyone knows that the Lake District is beautiful, but these coastal areas which include some legacy industrial sites are often undersung. Just outside the National Park, they are very much still the Lake District of Beatrix Potter and John Ruskin and deserve to be cherished.

We’d like to show the world the intense and often wild and desolate beauty of the Lakeland coastal fringe, such as the views seen from the summits of Scafell and Coniston Old Man, looking towards the Irish Sea. Some of the most famous Lakeland mountains stand over the coastal plain, and it is these—and their water pressure—that increase the danger of the government’s proposals for nuclear waste burial.

More photos of our stunning landscapes and their flora and fauna can be seen on our facebook page which you are invited to join : Our Our Lovely Lake District in Photos: 2027 Calendar for L.A.N.D. https://www.facebook.com/groups/997384242883523

Pledging to buy a calendar will not only give you a year long reminder of our beautiful Lake District but will help in the most important campaign the Lake District has ever known – the push back against the biggest development EVER in the UK.
