LONG STANDING ANTI NUCLEAR CAMPAIGNER DIES
29 September 2012
It is with huge sadness that Stop Hinkley announces the untimely
death of Crispin Aubrey.
The Stop Hinkley campaign is coming to terms with the news that
spokesperson Crispin Aubrey suffered a fatal heart attack on Friday afternoon in
the midst of the preparations for the planned protest against Hinkley C next
weekend.
Crispin played a key role in the preparations and was due to speak
at the rally next Saturday. Crispin's wife Sue, also part of the Stop Hinkley
campaign, has bravely requested that the ‘show must go on because it's what
Crispin would have wanted'.
The Aubreys were involved in the original protest against Hinkley
C over twenty years ago. Crispin took a lead role in the public enquiry and
coordinated the campaign which was heralded a success as the reactor was never
built.
Crispin was a life-long campaigner and had been a journalist all
his working life, starting at the Hampshire Chronicle and London's Time Out
magazine. He wrote widely on environmental issues and was committed to the
promotion of renewable energy.
Crispin was well respected contributor to the Stop Hinkley
campaign and to the fight against new nuclear in the UK.
