"The drop-in event at Kirksanton Village Hall was well attended, with the majority of
residents appearing to oppose the proposed Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). Many
engaged in discussions with the Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) team, raising concerns
and asking questions.
Steve Attwood and I arrived with placards repurposed from earlier protests, which
effectively conveyed our message. Inside the hall, I walked around holding a placard
high, speaking with attendees and listening to their views. Later, I continued these
discussions outside, where residents were debating the implications of NWS’s focus on
Kirksanton as a potential site.
The NWS team did not seem to object to our presence. However, shortly after, a police
officer arrived to observe the event and ensure public safety."
