IFA2 Interconnexion France Angleterre

Comments about  the IFA2 public exhibition at Stubbington Community Centre on Saturday 12^th December 2015

1. Your choice of cable route was governed by only being offered the site at Daedalus. If you had only been offered a site at Fawley then your cable route would obviously reflect this.
2. Daedalus was the only site you were offered. ‘Identification’ didn’t come into it.
3. All proposals will have an environmental impact. The impact of the building at Daedalus will be seen for miles around however much screening is applied.
4. Do not build it at Daedalus. Fawley is the obvious site.
5. Proposed site close to the threshold of a runway? Madness
6. No illustration showing the size of the proposed building against the landscape.
7. Please explain the technical reasons for not utilising the site of the Fawley power station
8. It is out of keeping with the vision for Daedalus which is to promote   advanced manufacturing and technology industry focused on marine, aviation and aerospace. The claim from Sean Woodward that ‘the lights will go out in 2020’ and the press release from Fareham Borough Council ‘Press Release – Electricity link with France proposed for Fareham to keep the lights on in 2020’ were scaremongering and bully tactics

Executive Leader of Fareham Borough Council, Councillor Seán Woodward, said: “National Grid has told us that the Fareham coastline is for technical and economic reasons the most appropriate location for the electricity interconnector to link into the UK network.   NOT TRUE,  THIS WAS THE ONLY SITE THE NATIONAL GRID WERE OFFERED
