TAKE PART IN THE LATEST CONSULTATION HERE: https://www.greengentowyusk.com/index.php?contentid=49
Green GEN Cymru have opened the latest round of consultations on their proposed 60-mile Pylon route which will cut through the heart of Mid-Wales.
The consultation is now open and will close on the 8th May. The first community event in Powys is being held at the Montgomery Pavilion in the Royal Welsh Showground on Wednesday 20th March 2pm-7pm, and the second in Penybont District Community Centre on Tuesday 9th April 2pm-7pm.
James Evans, MS for Brecon and Radnorshire said:
“We saw the strength of opposition to these plans in the previous consultation undertaken by Bute Energy. The local communities on this proposed route must step forward once again make their voices heard in this consultation process.
“I fear that the industrial scale of these energy parks, and the 60-mile pylon route to export the power out will devastate our rural communities, putting jobs and livelihoods at risk. We are already seeing a drop in house prices as a consequence of the proposed route.
“I hope to be at both drop-in sessions, and to see as many of you there as possible – but please remember to fill in the formal consultation online to ensure your views are noted, as verbal comments are not always recorded.”
