6am, Monday 1st November 
Albert Gate, Devonport Dockyard, Plymouth
Trident submarines undergo refitting, upgrades and maintenance at the Devonport dockyard in Plymouth. It is already home to many of Britain's decaying retired nuclear subs and may become the dumping ground for them for decades to come.
Please come and join in the blockade. You can sit, lie down, lock-on or provide support for the blockaders. We need your committed non-violent action. Please bring your friends and relatives and join the blockade that will start at 6 am and continue for as long as possible. Risking arrest is not a requirement.
The Devonport Big Blockade is organised by Trident Ploughshares and supported by CND.
Also please join the CND contingent on the anti-cuts protest in Plymouth on Saturday 30th October - 11am, outside the Guildhall, Armada Way: 'Defend Welfare - Scrap Trident!'

Trident will cause defence job losses: new CND report |
 'Trident, jobs and the UK economy' launched at TUC
A new report shows that replacing the Trident nuclear weapons system will cause an overall reduction in defence employment. Many more labour-intensive conventional defence activities will have to be scrapped to pay for the system designed for the Cold War.
The report also shows that with relatively small investment the skills used at BAe Systems' shipyard in Barrow could be diversified into areas such as engineering for wave and tidal energy, growing markets that could provide greater job security than the shipyard's current reliance on Ministry of Defence contracts.
You can read the report here and the four page summary here.

With Afghan civilian deaths increasing, as well as British military casualties, the war is increasingly unpopular in NATO states, including Britain. Join us to send a strong message to the summit, and to the government here in London.

Why pay for redundant Trident?
A pretty clear message is emerging from the last two days of
government pronouncements on defence. Trident is past its sell-by date
in every respect: ...
