National Grid - Green Anglia Consultation

Letter to CEO National Grid

You may be aware that a public consultation has been taking place about reinforcing the high voltage power network in East Anglia as well as connecting new offshore wind generation. The proposals include building a new electricity overhead transmission line which would pass extremely nearby to the constituency of Chelmsford.

I have written to the head of National Grid about my concerns. The consultation closes on 15th June 2022. If you do want to make your own comments you can join the consultation here. https://www.nationalgrid.com/.../east-anglia-green-have...

Visit to Chelmsford Prison

 I recently visited Chelmsford Prison. I have always been concerned about levels of violence in our prison, particularly the risk of violence against officers. I was pleased to hear that improvements have been made since my last visit.
