As you are probably aware by now, it's not the building of a new power station that the people of Somerset are trying to stop.
EDF are planning to use existing roads for lorries, cars and coaches. These roads are already oversubscibed and, furthermore, it appears that the new bypass for Cannington will not be built until after the construction work has began. This means that all the extra transport will be coming through Cannington which is totally unacceptable.
We feel that a Bridgwater bypass is the only acceptable route, taking this traffic directly to Hinckley Point. EDF know this but continue to give vague excuses why this is not an option.
For the sake of the residents in Cannington and the surrounding villages PLEASE do not give EDF planning permission for their preferred route which will affect the whole of West Somerset for years to come.
