The county council's decision to build the Saville, the 'Socialist Conjuror' is an act not control centre came eight years after peace campaigners took direct action to stop work on . a bunker at Bridgend. Mid Glamorgan CND launched a campaign against the bunker as soon as news of the plan leaked out early in December. Home Office regulations make it quite clear that 'emergency control centres' are intended for use in nuclear war. The Rhondda building is designed to operate for two weeks without mains power or water and provide protection against radioactive fall-out. Labour councillors who voted for the scheme say they are under pressure from the Home Office and claim they could be personally penalised if they refuse to co­ operate. Councillor Terry Mahoney, Labour group leader, told the Western Mail that councillors 'faced surcharge and losing their homes amJ businesses if they did not build the emergency control centre'. In a top-level meeting with Mid Glamorgan CND, council leaders "round other ways of justifying their collaboration with the Government's war plans.

Three quarters of the cost will be paid by the Home Office, with the rest split between the Rhondda and Mid Clamorgan councils, who will be allowed to borrow extra in order to pay the bill. But CND Cymru have insisted that there are hundreds of better ways to spend £1 million in the valleys - wherever the money comes from. At the meeting in January, CND argued that the council should follow the advice of the Manchester-based steering committee of Nuclear-Free authorities and do as little as possible, while staying within the law. CND Cymru do not believe that the Home Office would be willing to take legal action to force Mid Glamorgan to build a £1 million bunker when there are so many better ways of spending that sum in the valleys. The council are reluctant to face up to the truth of what they are doing. When the CND delegation referred to the 'bunker' or mentioned plans for burying victims of a NO BUNKERS!
