The Bolney National Grid sub station, to which the cable for Rampion 2 will be connected, lies in the Parish of Twineham. Residents of Twineham Parish have already endured the very badly run contract for the construction of the Rampion 1 sub station, located in the Parish of Twineham, together with the cable route. Construction work lasted for 6 years (September 2014 - September 2020), rather than the projected 28 months. Frequently there was weekend and Bank Holiday working, together with work starting in the early morning and going on until 9.20 pm in the evening throughout one summer. Twineham Parish Council would be grateful if it could be made a Requirement (Condition) that working hours are 8.00 am - 6.00 pm Mondays - Fridays and 8.00 am - 1.00 pm on Saturdays and absolutely no working on Sundays or Bank Holidays. Further conditions must be imposed to ensure all vehicles should be fitted with "white noise" and not reversing beepers. We also have concerns regarding the amount of traffic in connection with this construction project and its impact on local residents.
