How can I take action?

National Grid Map

  1. Email your objection to National Grid

Email contact@n-t.nationalgrid.com by 26 July 2024.

This text is intended to provide you with guidance on what to say; however, please refrain from copying and pasting it, as duplicate responses will not be considered valid.

"While accepting the need to move power from the North Sea to London, I object to the National Grid Norwich to Tilbury Upgrade proposal.  This is on the basis of the arguments set out in consultation responses in 2022 and 2023 submitted by many individuals and Parish Councils and by the Essex Suffolk Norfolk Pylons action group, whose submissions, including to this Statutory Consultation, we endorse. 

Your consultation has been, and remains inadequate.  A valid offshore alternative has not been presented and the harm of National Grid’s preferred solution significantly outweighs the benefits.  

The only alternatives that we support is a fully integrated offshore grid.   This will dispose of the need to build  substations, haul roads, equipment and storage compounds etc that are planned by NG, Five Estuaries, North Falls, Tarchon (…and likely others that we haven’t yet been told about) for Little Bromley." 

Please share this with all your neighbours and family and ask them to take one minute to send an email..

2. Contact your Councillor and MP 

Urge them to object to the proposals for electrical grid development from

  • The National Grid

  • North Falls

  • Five Estuaries

  • Tarchon

Feel free to copy and paste the following text;

“The Norwich to Tilbury upgrade project brings severe harm to the environment, communities, landscapes & heritage of East Anglia. An alternatives such as a fully integrated offshore has not been presented for consultation. Destruction of the countryside, farmland and local villages from Frinton to Little Bromley to build multiple substations, cable trenches with associated road widening works and traffic will cause extensive environmental, noise and light pollution. Please object to the proposals from National Grid,North falls, Five estuaries and Tarchon”
