Scottish CND News Faslane Peace Camp
As Faslane Peace Camp prepares to celebrate its 15th birthday, the campers have been given formal notice to quit the site, outside the Trident submarine base. Four representatives of Argyll and Bute Council arrived at the Camp on Monday 9th June and posted notices on all the caravans, sheds, and even on the toilet, telling them that they have to leave.
The notice issued to the camp reads as follows:
