We who sign this petition reject national Grids proposals to further blight the East Anglian countryside with yet more pylons.
We believe the right way to transmit the projected output from
the new gas powered power stations at New Holland and Kings Lyn,the planned renewably generated power from the east coast windfarms and the proposed new nuclear generators proposed for Sizewell is not simply " by underground cables".
We believe that a multi faceted approach is needed which comprises three parts that:
eliminate the need for new pylon lines
works toward a completely pylon free landscape
is compatible with new and international developments in energy distribution
is in the best interests of the entire nation
They are:-
To increase the capacity of the existing pylon lines (as is included in NG's proposals) as a short term expedient to transmit the power from the proposed New Holland and Kings Lyn Gas Powered Power Stations
To connect the proposed Sizewell Nuclear Reactors along with the proposed east coast Wind Farms to London via the Thames Estuary by undersea cabling.
To bury underground the existing local distribution lines along with all other local distribution cables.
National Grid is ignoring our call for undersea cabling but we are building a plan to force them to the table. Post this link on Facebook to hold them accountable. Email your local representative today to demand they prioritize our landscape over cheap construction.

The momentum behind this push to protect our countryside is growing fast. Post this link on your Facebook page today and email your local representative to demand they back undersea cabling alternatives now.

Keep our landscape beautiful. We dont need these eyesores ruining the view across Suffolk. Put the cables under the sea or bury them.

THESE PYLONS ARE A DISGRACE. Ruining our countryside for profit. Keep the cables underground and save the east anglian fields
