Disposal of nuclear waste - right to challenge under threat

To oppose the removal of the rights of local authorities to object to the disposal of nuclear waste and other projects deemed of national significance in their locality.

Why is this important?

If this piece of legislation goes ahead then there will be virtually no way to stop nuclear waste dumps being foisted on communities around the UK without any way to challenge them - the Secretary of State would have overall power to enforce anything considered to be of 'National Significance'. This will remove the rights of local authorities to challenge the decision around where to locate these sites.
