Update on the day coming soon!

STOP PRESS: Join a two mile protest march from Leiston to Sizewell beach on Sunday 15 May, 10 days ahead of the planning decision
After the huge success of “The Wall” in September 21′ another fun event is confirmed by TASC & Stop Sizewell C.
With the Secretary of State about to give his decision on the devastating Sizewell C build, it will be another chance to show EDF and the Government just how much we care about our Heritage Coast.
Here are the details for the rally.
March: gather from 9.30am in Victory Road Recreation Ground. We will move off by 10am.
Rally: Sizewell Beach from 11.15am 12 noon. Speakers include Adrian Ramsay, Green Party co leader.
-
Marchers should gather at 9.30am in Victory Road Recreation Ground, at the north-eastern end near the footbridge over Park Hill. We will move off by 10am.
-
The march will process along Main Street, past the Library, and the High Street, turning left along Sizewell Road/St George’s Avenue to Lover’s Lane and Sizewell Gap. The distance is a little over 2 miles which is expected to take just over an hour.
-
There will be a rally at Sizewell Beach from 11.15am to 12 noon approx.
-
We are sorry if by organising a march some people are prevented from participating. You are warmly encouraged to come to the rally.
-
Please tell – and bring – friends and family. Let us know if you plan to march so we have an idea of numbers. Email info@stopsizewellc.org
-
We are liaising with the police to ensure a smooth running safe event, suitable for everyone.
-
Bicycles are welcome to follow the march.
Parking
-
A local landowner has kindly provided a field for parking up Church Road (IP16 4HL) which is a short walk from Victory Road Rec. but to avoid disruption to St Margaret’s congregation, we ask you to arrive no later than 9.30am and be aware that it could be muddy if the weather is bad. There are a few official car parks in the town; see www.my.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/
service/Find_my_nearest but be sure to check maximum stay times and fees (eg the Co-op car park is 2 hours only). -
A coach will be available after the rally to take marchers back to Leiston. Please be patient as a few round trips may be required (but there are excellent refreshments at Sizewell Tea!)
-
For those unable to march but wishing to attend the rally, please note that Sizewell beach car park charges a fee.
-
You are encouraged to bring homemade banners and placards, but we will also provide some.
- If you want to make your own banner, flag or placard you may find inspiration HERE
Hope to see you on the 15th.
