Sizewell C I wish to raise the following concerns about Sizewell C I live near Bury St Edmunds and visit the coast frequently .. there are many worries about a lot of different issues for those living in the immediate area. We have family and friends in those areas and have many concerns for them . I will address the areas that are of most concern to me. The A12 will be hugely congested and cause big hold ups. There are likely to be far more accidents putting a large burden on the Health Service. Massive disruption to local peoples lives, traffic at present already very busy. The effect of this project on Minsmere and surrounding sites of ecological importance will be devastating whatever the arrangements it will be ruinous for wildlife and damage flora and fauna. We cannot afford to loose these precious areas. The expense of this project is excessive, the country doesn't need another build that goes way over budget, as always happens. The involvement of a Chinese company is also unsettling. I have heard some time ago that the price of electricity will be far more expensive than originally thought. The worry of a major accident is a concern as we have seen in the past . The burying of spent materials at the end of the reactors life is a huge burden for other generations. Finally the concerns of the sea already suffering from a certain amount of pollution, there will be extra impacts on marine life.
