The proposed Viking CCS pipeline and associated heavy construction works will have a direct, and we believe negative, impact on the lives and homes of residents in our village. Many local people have already expressed serious safety concerns regarding the proposed project- both medium and long term. These range from possibilities for explosion to concerns about a discharge of CO2 into the village. Not to mention, the unsightly nature of the 25 meter tall exhaust stack is completely out of character for Theddlethorpe. In addition, the only access to the site is via a single carriageway A road upon which several residents live; they are already concerned about the amount of HGV and bus traffic which uses that road, and some have experienced damage to their homes as a result of this. Lastly, our community is very close knit and small, with many residents at a technological disadvantage. The Parish Council need to be able to represent those who are unable to otherwise engage in the consultation process.
