Tractors join 114-mile pylon scheme protest
Daily Express
|November 17, 2025
ANGRY farmers parked their tractors in the middle of a village in protest at controversial National Grid plans for a 114-mile pylon route.
The demonstration in Cotton, Suffolk, was one of at least eight across East Anglia as part of a day of action in outcry at the proposals to transport green electricity through the structures from Norwich to Tilbury in Essex.
Andrew Bullicks, who runs a family farm in the Cotton area, said one-third of his land will be unusable while the pylons are built.
The 62-year-old told the Express: "The whole project is an absolute nonsense. It's supposed to be a net-zero project. The whole net-zero thing is a b****y nonsense when it comes to schemes like this. It's going to have a massive impact on our business."

Not just red or white - but shades of orange, rose and amber, too. Of course, it all depends on the grapes and winemaking techniques.
