URGENT If you haven't already done it, please consider registering your objection to the government about the Norwich to Tilbury pylons which are due to go straight across Ruffian Wood, destroying the trees and wildlife in the process. You have until midnight tonight!
You can do so easily by using this AI tool that has been created by the Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk Pylon Actions Group. The link is below and in in my bio. Many thanks
