National Grid pylons consultation

National Grid has launched its latest public consultation on plans for a new high-voltage power line across East Anglia, including Mid Suffolk and Babergh.

The Norwich to Tilbury project has previously been opposed by both councils amid significant concerns, particularly over the impact on the environment.

The public consultation events in our area are:

• Tuesday 11 July, 11am-4pm at Blackbourne Community Centre, Blackbourne Road, Elmswell.
• Wednesday 19 July, 2pm-7pm – Copdock Village Hall, Old London Road, Copdock.

There are also consultation webinars on July 5 (1-2pm), July 25 (7-8pm), August 12, 17 (both 10-11am). For more details visit the National Grid website.
