CAMPAIGNERS fighting plans for a new nuclear power station in Bradwell have got 10,000 people to sign a petition against the plans.

Varrie Blowers, secretary of Banng, said: “Getting so many signatures from local communities and those with ties to the area is a colossal achievement and demonstrates unequivocally the sheer strength of opposition to the proposal.”
