Write and Object!
A Call To Action
Its time to write to National Grid and tell them just what you think of their proposals for yet more pylons in our beautiful landscape. We have put together a strategy which we believe we can all support and we have provided the address details for everyone you need to write to.
This is the newsletter of 2nd Feb.
SVU's Strategy Announcement
Tuesday, 2 February 2010
For the Campaign Group Stour Valley Underground
there is so much more to do that just say
"We don't want any more pylons"
We want to make sure the right decision is made
in the whole country's best interests,
SO
Having done a huge amount of research on the pylons issue there
is perhaps one big question you might want to ask Stour Valley Underground -
How do you believe the broad objectives of National Grid's
Bramford to Twinstead Overground Powerline Project should be achieved?
Here is the answer:-
Stour Valley Underground's view of how to transmit the projected output from:-
•the new gas powered power stations at New Holland and Kings Lyn
and
•the planned renewably generated power from the east coast windfarms
and
•the 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:-
1.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
2.To connect the proposed Sizewell Nuclear Reactors along with the proposed east coast Wind Farms to London via the Thames Estuary by undersea cabling.
3.To bury underground the existing EDF owned local distribution lines along with all other local distribution cables

It's time to write!
and we are making it as easy to do as we can!
We have puttogetherall the relevant email addresses
and as much information on the issue as we can.
If you want to know why we reject the idea of indicating a preference
for one of National Grid's corridors over another
or why we reject the validity of the consultation process as it has been conducted,
it's all there on ourWrite!page, in detail too if you need it!
And then we also explain how we believe the necessary grid upgrade SHOULD be accomplished.
So please go towww.stourvalleyunderground.org.ukand make a difference.
Write and tell both National Grid and your elected representatives
just whatyouthink of the proposals to further blight
our beautiful countrysidewith yet more pylons.
