SOMERSET County Council has welcomed National Grid's decision to consider underground and subsea cables as well as pylons as part of its plans to power Hinkley Point C, as recently reported in the Weekly News.
Leader Ken Maddock said: “They (National Grid) will hopefully come back to us with new options in the new year and we welcome that. They have got to get this important decision right.”
