What is Save Our Valleys view on Corridor 1 which would route pylons to the West of Nailsea?
The Save Our Valley campaign was started by people living in Backwell, the East of Nailsea and Wraxall who were horrified at the proposals for Corridor 2 which will ruin forever our beautiful valley (which is how we got our name). We quickly realised that National Grid could interpret our “no” to Corridor 2 as unqualified acceptance of new lines being built in Corridor 1. This is not our position. If National Grid chooses Corridor 1 then we must ensure that this is used as an opportunity to help people whose homes are currently blighted by having pylons very close to them. No-one gains if Corridor 2 is chosen; if Corridor 1 is chosen people could benefit if pylons near their homes are removed and the new line is located further away.
