## Resource

National Grid’s massive 37-mile pylon project, stretching from Weston Marsh to east Leicestershire, is undergoing key route tweaks to reduce visual impact and protect local landscapes—bringing lines closer to Surfleet and using existing trees for screening. Adjustments are also planned near South Holland and Holwell Nature Reserve. While project director Victoria Strickland argues this vital infrastructure will meet soaring future energy demands and support clean power growth, critics like No Pylons Lincolnshire call it “industrialization of the countryside,” echoing past county council opposition. Public consultation ends November 3; National Grid aims to submit its planning application by 2028, with construction starting in 2029 and full rollout by 2033.
