📢 Attention Residents of Roydon 📢

The Parish Council is considering holding a separate meeting dedicated to discussing the Norwich to Tilbury Transmission Project consultation. This will provide you with the opportunity to share your views on the National Grid plans, and for councillors to decide on our response.

🗓️ The date for this additional meeting will be discussed at our scheduled meeting on Tuesday, April 30th. However, the consultation details will be discussed in depth during the Extraordinary Meeting, the date of which will be confirmed by the end of April.

Keep an eye on our Facebook Page, website, and notice boards for the latest updates. Your input matters, and we want to ensure your voices are heard in this important matter! #CommunityEngagement #NorwichToTilburyTransmissionProject 🌐📝

The statutory consultation for the Norwich to Tilbury transmission project is now underway and will remain open until 18th June 2024. You can find detailed information about the project on the National Grid website:

https://www.nationalgrid.com/electricity-transmission/network-and-infrastructure/infrastructure-projects/norwich-to-tilbury

One key aspect to note is that there are two proposed options for the route around Roydon: a pylons route and an underground cable route. To view these options on the interactive map, please refer to the key, accessible through the ‘I’ (information) button on the map.

The Parish Council will be thoroughly examining the plans and developing its response over the next two council meetings. If you would like to contribute your input to this process, you are encouraged to send your comments to the clerk at clerk@roydon-southnorfolk-pc.gov.uk
