NEWS FROM TAVISTOCK
PEACE ACTION GROUP
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 6th April at 7-30pm in the Friends’ Meeting House, Bedford Car Park, Tavistock. We welcome all who would like to join us.
We have continued to publicise the MOD proposal to cut up redundant nuclear submarines at Devonport Dockyard. We think this issue should be raised with candidates during the General Election campaign. More information can be found at www.submarinedismantling.co.uk
In April we intend to show a film about the plight of the Chagos Islanders, who have been forbidden to return to their homes since the construction of the US military base on Diego Garcia. A UK court has ruled that they can return to the islands, which are a British Overseas Territory, but they are still unable to do so.
For more information about TPAG please phone 01822 615960.
Officially part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, the Chagos were home to the Chagossians for more than a century and a half until the United Kingdom and the United States expelled them in the 1960s in order to allow the US to build a military base on Diego Garcia, the largest of the Chagos Islands. The deal was sanctioned by the then British Secretary of State for Defence, Denis Healey.

Also, Plymouth’s Creative Arts Facility “Flameworks” will be launching their very own sculpture trail around Delamore’s idyllic trout lake. A landmark of traditional Dartmoor architecture, the Estate was commissioned by Admiral Parker (one of Nelson’s captains at Trafalgar) as a wedding gift in 1859.
