To Protect Morley Village and Derbyshire
From 56 to 70 Metre Pylons
Site Index
The National Grid Electricity Transmission proposal (NGET) is proposing to build a new 60km overhead electricity line from Chesterfield to Willington. Part of this proposal is to route these lines through and around Morley Village using 50m to 70m high pylons with one pylon sited every 300 metres. We are an action group working together to STOP THE PYLONS. IMPORTANT – SEE BELOW FOR DROP IN CENTRE DATES – you can visit any and ask about your area – tell the National Grid what you think! Let us show that we care about this project – please do not leave it for someone else to do for you!
The National Grid’s Proposal
The National Grid are wanting to upgrade their system by erecting huge pylons on route from Chesterfield to Willington.
The National Grid is proposing to undertake a project that involves destroying our countryside and posing a threat to the local wildlife. This has raised concerns among the community and environmentalists alike.
How You Can Help
We have formed a group to raise awareness of the issue and form an organised objection to these plans.
