Submission History: Rosyth Council notes with concern the findings of engineers responsible for safety maintenance of the decommissioned nuclear submarines dumped at Rosyth where a hole was detected within the hulk of one of the rotting nuclear submarines in February. Previous reports have intimated the existence of nuclear particles in various places throughout the Forth Estuary as far west as Carronshore and Skinflats. Council views the threat to our local environment and wildlife with concern and calls on the UK government to cease the practice of dumping decommissioned nuclear submarines on our doorstep and calls on them to transfer these wrecks to the dockyard with the greatest expertise, the Royal Navy Dockyard at Devonport. Council also agrees to bring forward a full report to Environment and Heritage Committee on the implications of having a nuclear dump at Rosyth. Help Icon
