Norwich to Tilbury is a new electricity transmission link
proposed in East Anglia. National Grid believes that communities which host new electricity
infrastructure should benefit from doing so, and this is why the company wants Norwich to
Tilbury to deliver meaningful and long-lasting benefits for local communities
and the wider area.
If Norwich to Tilbury is granted planning consent, a dedicated
Community Fund of over £30
million will be unlocked when construction begins. The fund would be invested
in two ways: a Local Fund, with grants available for grass-roots projects; and a
Strategic Fund, supporting bigger, longer-term projects.
The Community Fund could support projects that invest in
skills and training, improve community spaces, support physical health and
wellbeing, enhance green spaces or create partnerships with charities or
service providers.
Tell National Grid how you think this fund could make a difference to
where you live. It might be:
·
Opening the door to new skills, trainings and
opportunities for the future;
·
Revitalising community and green spaces where
people can connect and thrive;
·
Strengthening health and wellbeing support for
young people;
·
Or anything else you think your community needs.
