The MP for South Norfolk, Richard Bacon, has met with with top cabinet officials to discuss the controversial East Anglia GREEN project. Bacon, who has served as MP for South Norfolk since 2001 – said: “I know that many constituents are quite rightly furious with these proposals and I am grateful to the Energy Minister for taking the time to meet us. “Indeed, the basis for National Grid’s consultation is so flimsy that it is almost certainly legally flawed,” he said. “It looks very obvious that during this process National Grid have already improperly closed off options. The obvious conclusion is that we should have a sub-sea route for the cabling too.”Residents and business owners across the Diss Express region have been opposed to National Grid's plans.
