Stop the Olympic Missiles Campaign said the “No Missiles in Our Community” gathering, which is planned for Saturday June 30 in London, is a reaction to the MoD’s deployment of high-velocity missiles in the local areas without serving reasonable security purpose.
Saying that there has been no consultation with local people about the plan, the campaign group also condemned the installation of missiles for creating real danger as no risk assessment has been conducted.
The MoD has confirmed that six sites, including two residential blocks of flats, would be tested as launch pads for missile systems in order to combat air threats during the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Potential sites include the Lexington Building in Tower Hamlets and the Fred Wigg Tower in Waltham Forest, both in east London, Blackheath Common and Oxleas Wood, both in southeast London, William Girling Reservoir in the Lea Valley Reservoir Chain in Enfield and Barn Hill at Netherhouse Farm in Epping Forest.
