Theddlethorpe nuclear waste site ‘would be disaster for seaside’

“The tourism industry in this area brings £600m of economic benefit and 8,000 jobs,” he said. “We need to protect this at all costs.”

A survey of 1,100 people along the coastline from Mablethorpe to Skegness, carried out by GOTEC, found “83% of them would not visit this area if that facility was built”, Mr Crookes added.

NWS is considering the site for what is known in the waste industry as a geological disposal facility (GDF).

Other possible sites have been mooted in Hartlepool and Cumbria.

The GDF would see nuclear waste being stored beneath up to 1,000m (3,300ft) of solid rock until its radioactivity had naturally decayed.

The gas terminal would provide access to a shaft leading down to a tunnel, which would stretch up to 13 miles (21km) under the North Sea.

NWS is hosting a series of consultation events in the Theddlethorpe area to explain the plans in more detail and answer residents’ questions.
