People in and around Wallingford have a chance to make their voices heard over nuclear waste.

A meeting on May 11 in the Regal Centre, Wallingford, organised by the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management between 7.30pm and 9pm will look at the ways waste is stored and treated in places like Harwell.

People's views will be considered before recommendations are made by the committee to the Government in 2006.

Committee chairman Prof Gordon MacKerron said: "This is an opportunity for local people to hear about our task and share their views with us.

"Government has asked us to find a safe management solution, technically feasible and which has the support of people in the UK.

"I hope people will come along to meet us and discuss the problems."
