Power generated in Lincolnshire, but benefits for the south? Councillor demands fairer system 🔋
A senior councillor has claimed the government is using Lincolnshire as a dumping ground for infrastructure projects which benefit the south of England.
Lincolnshire County Councillor Colin Davie expressed his concerns about the lack of direct benefits to Lincolnshire residents during the Annual General Meeting, "I'm not going to allow Lincolnshire to be overwhelmed, or dumped on in any way shape or form by any party, whether it's private or public, and we need to make sure that as a body, we are all united in taking a clearer view."
"I want to see Lincolnshire deliver high-quality food for the nation. We need to protect our land to do that," said Councillor Davie.He called for a comprehensive assessment of the infrastructure plans, and urged MPs and the government to consider alternative solutions, such as an offshore grid.
