Open Community Support Meetings to Discuss Proposed New Hinkley Power Station Associated Development
Sedgemoor District Council and West Somerset Council are giving support to communities to understand EDF’s second stage proposals for a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point. EDF has already consulted communities in the spring about their initial proposals for developments of worker accommodation, freight handling and transport routes associated with the site. Sedgemoor and West Somerset Councils helped generate responses to these proposals from a broad range of community stakeholders.
Community Support meetings to help communities interpret and discuss EDF’s now revised ‘Second Stage’ proposals will be organised in July and August by Sedgemoor District Council and West Somerset Council. These events will take place in community halls of key parishes to be affected by the proposed building of a new power station. The Community Support meetings are open to all to drop in any time between 6pm and 8pm on the dates highlighted below. You will be offered the opportunity to discuss with others in the community how the EDF proposals may affect your parish areas. Technical specialists working with the Councils will be available to give advice and listen to your views.
Dates of Community Support Meetings: 27th July – Williton, St.Peter’s CE Primary School, Doniford Road, TA4 4SF 3rd Aug – Stogursey, Stogursey Victory Hall TA5 1PR. 5th Aug – Cannington, Cannington Village Hall, TA5 2HE 11th Aug – Bridgwater, The Exchange, Committee Room, Bridgwater, TA6 4RR 17th Aug – Bridgwater, Sydenham Community Centre, Bridgwater, TA6 4QZ 18th Aug – North Petherton, Community Hall, TA6 6QA. 19th Aug – Otterhampton, Otterhampton Village Hall, TA5 2QS 26th Aug – Burnham-on-Sea, The Princess Hall, Burnham-on-Sea, TA8 1EH
