Leader of East Sussex County Council raises “serious concerns” about proposed facility
Proposals for a nuclear facility in Romney Marsh have been opposed by neighbouring East Sussex County Council.
Shepway District Council is currently considering plans to build an underground nuclear research and development facility in the marshes.
However, the leader of East Sussex council has raised their concerns about a nuclear site being built close to their border at a council meeting.
Peter Jones, council leader, said: “We have serious concerns about these proposals in a location close to our border.
“We believe the plan doesn’t stack up and has many unknowns including geology, economic benefit, infrastructure and community support.”
Shepway District Council has stated it has “no formal view”, and is asking local people to contribute to the ongoing consultation period.
