“This is typical of the lack of democracy that is becoming prevalent. Consultation must be transparent and stick to the letter and intention of the law. Big companies must be forced to do the right thing. Government should be protecting the electorate not colluding with these companies.

There is fairly well substantiated evidence that pylons pose a health risk. People are already reluctant to buy houses near them or build schools under them. If England is so keen to have this form of electricity they should have it on their own land. The nation should be forging ahead with new innovative solutions not cluttering up the countryside with obsolete unnecessary dangerous things of this sort. ”
