Opposing National Grid's Onshore Pylon Proposal

Alex Burghart MP opposing National Grid Pylon proposal

Many residents, especially those in Ingatestone, Haverings Grove and West Horndon, are aware of National Grid’s proposal to build a new high voltage network reinforcement between Norwich, Bramford and Tilbury via an intrusive network of overhead lines and pylons.
