Residents living near the Faslane nuclear submarine base have held a demonstration against the ongoing peace protests there. People in Garelochead claim children have been prevented from going to nearby schools during recent anti-Trident protests. About 50 residents marched to the peace camp. A previous protest in April attracted about 120 demonstrators. The naval base is the home of the UK's Trident strategic nuclear deterrent. The submarines which carry the weapons system have been based on the banks of Gareloch for 25 years. The local people taking part in demonstration said they wanted the roads to be clear seven days a week, 24 hours a day. |
