STAND, 2025.

Severnside Together Against Nuclear Development, STAND, believes the government is going full speed ahead to build 4 Small Modular Reactors, SMRs, at Oldbury. Each SMR is bigger than the original nuclear power station, the nuclear storage facilities are importing more dangerous grades of radioactive waste and there are plans for a large nuclear science research centre there.

So I offered to paint a series of 'badge' murals. To kick off I painted STANDs founder members (40 years ago) gable with a STAND logo.

and then Ian of Coleford's car doors.

Originally I had been thinking of a large mural such as a STAND death juggler. Maybe when the small (ha ha) modular reactors are half built and the government feels its safe to announce its plans. Lets face it no one wants to live in a new nuclear industry cluster so I imagine then people will be queueing up for me to paint their gables.
