Chelmsford City Council ‘strongly objects’ to pylon plans
Chelmsford City Council will *continue to strongly object to plans for a 184km Norwich to Tilbury electricity transmission line* that would bring a new pylon and overhead line route through the district.

The deadline for the consultation has been *extended until 11:59pm on Friday 26 July *to give people extra time to provide feedback on the plans.
