CONCERNS over the transportation of nuclear weapons have been raised following reports that a nuclear convoy passed through Glasgow last month without the knowledge of the local authority.
The watchdog group NukeWatch, which monitors and tracks the movement of UK nuclear weapons, sighted the convoy of unmarked, lead-lined lorries on 26 June, noting on Twitter that each truck was “probably carrying two warheads”. The convoy is believed to travel between the Atomic Weapons Establishment Burghfield near Reading and RNAD Coulport on Loch Long, going through Glasgow on the M74 and M8 and passing within 1.5 miles of George Square.
