PLANS to build space radar dishes that would allow US President Donald Trump “to militarily dominate all of space” from Wales have taken a step towards a national debate.

Peace campaigners have teamed up with Plaid Cymru to stop the Westminster government’s plans to build 27 radar dishes close to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

Plaid Cymru’s Cefin Campbell MS has tabled a statement of opinion, Wales’s equivalent of an early day motion, opposing the proposals for the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability, known as Darc, installation at Cawdor Barracks, Brawdy.
