AWE uranium storage go-ahead THE multi-million pound regeneration at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston moved a step closer this week. West Berkshire Council has approved planning permission for Project Pegasus, which is aiming to replace facilities for the storage and safe handling of enriched uranium. AWE spokeswoman Rachel Whybrow said: The decision of West Berkshire Councils eastern area planning commit- tee on Wednesday last week enables us to take the Pegasus project to the next stage. As part of the governments programme of investment in AWE sites, the proposed replacement facility will pro- vide long-term capability for the safe handling and storage of enriched uranium at AWE Aldermaston. Pegasus will be a replace- ment facility, replacing and consolidating the existing age- ing buildings, which will subse- quently be decommissioned and demolished. But anti-nuclear campaign- Police plea in hunt for vicious thug A MAN was knocked to the ground during an assault in Basingstoke. Police are now appealing for information in their hunt for the attacker. A 34-year-old man was walk- ing along Penrith Road at 3.10am on Saturday January 30 when he was approached by a man who punched him and knocked him to the ground. The victim suffered a swollen lip and sore head.

He said: "We are pleased to assist with Peter Neyroud s request to join a uniform officer on foot patrol in Basingstoke, where he once worked as a ser- geant. No doubt, he will have seen changes in the town and he would have been well aware of the changes in technology and equipment used today compared to his time as a sergeant." An artists view of Project Pegasus REPORT by Simon Moss ers say the decision adds fur- ther weight to their cause. Trident Ploughshares activist Daniel Viesnik from London said: I was in prison last week for peacefully saying no to a future of nuclear holocaust. I feel it is my civic, moral and legal duty to help stop the next generation of nuclear weapons and prevent nuclear crimes against humanity and the planet. Fellow campaigner Sarah Lasenby from Oxford said: Local people are rightly con- cerned about the production of additional level nuclear waste on their doorstep and the lack of consultation and informa- tion provided about the new facility. But the majority of the British public is also increas- ingly concerned about our gov- ernment wasting billions of pounds on useless and illegal new nuclear weapons. We must get rid of them. Former borough cop gets back on the beat A FORMER Basingstoke police sergeant returned to the town this week to speak about crime-fighting issues. Chief Constable Peter Neyroud, chief executive of the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA), spent an afternoon on foot patrol and discussing issues affecting the boroughs bobbies.
