A public protest meeting was held on Saturday 30th September attended by MPs (Jo Churchill, Dan Poulter and Richard Bacon), Rosie Pearson, founder of the Essex Suffolk Norfolk Pylons group, Council leaders and others. A strong message was sent that the project needs to be reviewed, options and costs made transparent, and National Grid made accountable to the public. It was noted that exploratory drilling has already been initiated for potential pylon locations in the Upper Waveney Valley area and Wortham Ling SSSI. This has been raised with senior officers at Suffolk County Council and MPs.
