Nottingham CND :: Open for business and seeking members
A couple of piccys of the Nottingham CND stall. Some dedicated and committed people. If you are also, please join with them. This is the first step, perhaps, to making the world a safer place to inhabit.
*****
Nottingham CND is a local group of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. We campaign for the elimination of nuclear weapons world-wide and, particularly, the elimination of British nuclear weapons.
We organise open meetings about current issues. Meetings in the last year have covered the proposed US National Missile Defence, the use of Depleted Uranium, the World Court Project, and Trident Ploughshares.
We also have regular events that we organise or contribute to. We always have a stall at the Green Festival in Nottingham, which is usually held near the beginning of September. We hold a commemoration on Hiroshima Day, 6th August, in Nottingham, and run a stall on Saturdays at St Peters Gate in Nottingham.
Committee meetings are held every month or two and are open to all members. If you wish to know when the next committee meeting is planned, contact us

Graffiti Art :: Gregory Boulevard, Nottingham
Graffiti Gallery Project
During February, Art sparks - A Festival for young people - took place at venues across Nottingham. The project included the City Council, major arts venues and organisations, over 20 schools, plus clubs, agencies and community organisations that work with young people, the Youth Council, Fallen Angel Project and Millenium volunteers. It was the first festival of it's kind in Nottingham, featuring some brilliant events and workshops for young uns.
One of the highlights was the Graffiti Gallery project & exhibition that City Arts organised in partnership with Creative Room. Thanks to them for the pictures...
City Arts is a voluntary sector, participatory arts organisation with charitable status, based at the Art Exchange, in Nottingham's Hyson Green.They develop all kinds of arts projects citywide, recognising the term "arts" in the widest possible sense.
City Arts generates opportunities for the people of Nottingham to enhance their lives through creative activities, and by participating in the cultural life of the city. They are committed to ensuring that this experience is available to everyone.
City Arts targets people who have very little access to arts provision. They encourage life long learning and personal development, and use arts projects to tackle social exclusion. They achieve this by working in partnership with other key agencies and organisations, promoting community development, health and education.

"Capitalise - the arts and social capital"

Nottingham Against Incineration and Landfill [NAIL] Protest

Nottingham Against Incineration and Landfill [NAIL] Residence Protest against expansion plans.
On friday afternoon, the residence of Snienton and surrounding areas of Nottingham, came to protest against an Incinerators expansion plans. The company Waste Recycling Group Ltd [WRG], are preparing a planning application for expansion, and in support of this, had organised an exhibition at The Masson Suite in Nottingham County Football Club. We went along to see it, and to make our feelings known.
People protested at the entrance to the club in Meadow Lane. Banners held, leaflets handed out, and a discussion held with the organisers of the exhibition, from the plant.
**********
This is Nottingham Against Incineration and Landfill [NAIL] case against the proposed expansion.
Nottingham's Eastcroft municipal incinerator is proposing to expand its facility, please support our campaign to prevent the expansion of this unnecessary, highly polluting, poorly regulated plant.
Our Labour City Council is supporting the expansion that will see other people’s waste being imported from the surroundings counties, to be incinerated in Nottingham to pollute our air. At NAIL we want our City to enter into the 21st Century and put incineration in the past, where it belongs.
We are campaigning to get our City Council to stop supporting the incinerator, oppose the expansion plans and end its contract with Waste Recycling Group and improve on its appallingly low recycling rate of 9 only %.
We must end the madness of incineration and the continued pollution of our most precious resource, air the substance of life.
We have a right to breath air free of dust, heavy metals, chemicals and substances that we know are highly poisonous and cause cancer.
Incinerators do NOT destroy waste, it is one of the fundamental principles of science that matter can never be destroyed; it can only ever be transformed. Incinerators basically turn rubbish into ash, gases and particulate matter. These gases and the poisons are spewed into the atmosphere, to the air, which we breathe. Eventually they fall to earth where we consume the poisons through our food.
Incinerators DO NOT destroy waste, our rubbish still exists we may see less of it, but we’re inhaling and eating it instead.
Why should the expansion be stopped.
Nottingham City has one of the lowest recycling rates in the country, only 9%. Instead of increasing this to a more acceptable level, it is proposed to increase the incineration rate by building a third line and importing other people’s waste! Proposals could mean that waste is imported in Nottingham from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and incinerated in Nottingham to poison the residents of Nottingham.
Incinerators are highly polluting and poorly regulated.
They contribute to global warming.
They produce ‘Acid Rain’ gases.
Other wastes include toxic heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium, tin, and other poisons such as PCB's and Dioxins, which are extremely cancerous.
The most poisonous substances, such as PCB's and Dioxins are only spot measured twice a year, so the overall discharged levels are estimated levels.
Traffic delivering rubbish to the plant and removing ash will increase by 50 % leading to local disturbance and pollution.
The incinerator costs Nottingham's Council Tax payers around a £1,000,000 per year.
Much of what the incinerator burns waste, which could otherwise be recycled, thereby reducing pollution & employing more people.
The current plant regularly breaches its authorised emission levels.
Recycling paper uses 67% less energy than manufacturing it from raw wood pulp.
Recycling 1 aluminium drink can save enough energy to run a TV for 5 hours.
Did you know?
Most of Nottingham City’s waste is incinerated, NOT recycled.
The proposed expansion will lead to industrial waste being imported from the surrounding area.
Manufacturing paper from recycled material not only save forests, but uses a third of the energy requirements than manufacturing it from wood pulp.
Up to 80 % of household waste can be recycled.
The City Council is losing £1 million per year of your money as a result of its heating contract with the incinerator
A British study of municipal incinerators published in 2000 found that children living within 5km of an incinerator had twice the rate of leukaemia and cancers of other children.
The Sint Niklaas incinerator in Belgium met E.U safety limits but was shown to cause a 480% increase in cancer amongst local residents and shortened life spans by 12 years - it was shut down.
