West Cumbria Sites Stakeholder Group
About us
The WCSSG was originally formed to replace the Sellafield Local Liaison Committee (SLLC). The change reflected the fact that there were several nuclear licensed sites in the area and was intended to emphasise the importance of engagement with the community, encouraging input in discussions and consultations from all stakeholders. The organisation and ownership of sites has since changed and the WCSSG has changed to correspond, with re-organisation of its sub-committees, but the aim remains the same.
The WCSSG is an independent body whose role is to provide public scrutiny of the nuclear industry in West Cumbria.
The group – which includes representatives from local government, regulators, unions and community groups – meets quarterly. Its six sub-committees scrutinise detailed aspects of the Sellafield and Low Level Waste Repository sites, including operational issues, environment health, emergency planning and socio-economic impacts.
The public is invited to attend all meetings, and meetings are held in locations that are freely accessible to members of the public and press.
