We, the undersigned
Councillors,

are deeply concerned about the grave threat that nuclear weapons pose to communities throughout the world.
We firmly believe that
our residents have the right to live in a world free from this threat.

Any use of nuclear weapons, whether deliberate or accidental,
would have catastrophic, far-reaching and long-lasting consequences for people and the environment.

Therefore, we support the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and call on our government to sign and ratify it.
