Mrs. Badenoch said that she told Energy secretary To consider underground to the toranas, even if such a step is estimated that taxpayers are estimated to be higher cost.
When asked about the opposition to the plans from the Tory leader’s office, he claimed that “it is evidence to keep the cables underground”. But when asked to provide evidence, they failed to do so.
National grid sources said that burying cables will not only meet the requirements of the project, even seven times more expensive.
Meanwhile, a report by the organization of Engineering and Technology states that underground cables are about 4.5 times more expensive than overhead lines.

“Three weeks ago, only 15 percent of the green belt was in labor constituencies, now it is 50 percent. They are not Tory constituencies, they are labor.
“They are now your voters and you are going to tell them that you are going to do something that many of you promised locally what you will never do.”

“This is a classic one rule for him, another for everyone else. Conservatives were in power for 14 years and left us with the worst housebuilding records since the 1920s, a time when Pylon was not even invented.
“Now Labor in the government, we are serious about the construction of infrastructure and Britain is in dire need.”
A spokesperson of the National Grid said: “We are committed to consulting on a large scale and listening to the ideas of communities and stakeholders because we develop and shape our plans.
