There is a lot of controversy over the plan to use compulsory purchase orders to plough up farmland used for food and tree production when there are brownfield sites available at Bradwell which are already connected to the network. National Grid is refusing to say why they deem that not to be suitable.
These pylons are nothing like the current ones, they will be of gargantuan proportions. The neighbouring village has erected this dummy pylon, which is only 1/3rd the height of the threatened giants. Despite an avalanche of objections from residents and politicians I fear money and shareholders will see the NG going ahead with their plan.

Those giant pylons are the type we use in Canada.
ReplyDeleteI don't think these huge ones have been used here before.
DeleteYikes. Those are pretty hideous. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie
DeleteThey are heading across the fields just outside my village too - will be so ugly, and unnecessary if only they'd go around the coast . It's always all about the money
ReplyDeleteYes, unfortunatley it is Sue.
DeleteWhat an eyesight these pylons will be over what is most likely a beautiful area. Hopefully, the plan will not become reality in your area, Polly.
ReplyDeleteI would like to think not Beatrice, but I think it's a done deal they are just paying lip service now.
