The issues:
Protecting the countryside from unsightly electricity lines
There are over 7,000 km of high-voltage overhead electricity lines across England and Wales, and most of these are in the countryside.
Update:
Working to reduce pylons in the countryside
We are supporting National Grid’s Visual Impact Provision project to reduce the visual impacts of existing electricity lines, but plans for new lines risk creating new problems.
