Thousands of people have signed a petition against the proposed nuclear power plant development at Moorside, in West Cumbria.

The petition is called: 'Stop Moorside: Biggest Nuclear Development in Europe', and it currently has more than 7,000 signatures.

It reads:

We urge David Cameron and the leaders of Europe to scrap plans for Moorside.

The UK Government is planning to sell a vast area of Cumbria to the same companies responsible for the Fukushima disaster, so that they can build new nuclear reactors.

Please don't risk the safety of Europe by turning Cumbria into a nuclear sacrifice zone."
