EAST SUFFOLK PARISH COUNCILS CALL FOR ACTION FROM ENERGY MINISTERS

32 Parish Councils have sent a letter to the Secretary of State Andrea Leadsom & Energy Minister Kwasi Kwarteng calling for an urgent review of the impact of energy proposals on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. 

The 32 Parish Councils have come together to write and send a letter to express ‘significant joint concerns’ about the energy proposals. The letter calls for the immediate suspension of the DCO applications for EA1N & EA2 (Scottish Powers onshore substation proposals), it also highlights numerous concerns about Sizewell C and proposals for future projects. The letter says proposals are unprecedented and represent unnecessary industrialisation which will put the ‘peace, tranquillity and natural environment at significant risk’ and posing a ‘very real threat to the local tourist economy’.
