What was a quiet and inconspicuous lane near Nailsea has been breached by some heavy industry. A massive project to link Bridgwater with Seabank station near Avonmouth is to connect them with underground power cables. The project is, locally, driving a 10.5km line through the area up to Portishead. Overall the new power lines will connect up to new and renewable electricity sources, as well as the Hinckley C nuclear power station currently under construction. Soon the erection of the new 'T' pylons will begin across the landscape to replace the old versions. The scheme is expected to be completed in 2025.
