BRITS who agree for ugly electricity pylons near them should get free cash, a government review finds today.
Communities affected by new pylons and cables should also get “generous” benefits like home energy efficiency upgrades, a report from Britain’s electricity networks commissioner says.
Nick Winser, Britain’s electricity networks commissioner said money should be spent on local schemes to help Brits upgrade their homes, making bills cheaper too.
More pylons are needed to help power the nation for electric cars and heat pumps in future.
But Tory MPs are already kicking off about plans for the unappealing new pylons going through the heart of their areas.
