THE Government’s head of new nuclear development has agreed to visit West Mersea to speak to residents worried about a power station being built in Bradwell.

Hergen Haye, from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc), will outline the Government plans at the meeting, organised by campaign group Blackwater Against New Nuclear Group (Banng).

And Professor Andy Blowers is urging everyone to attend as it could turn out to be the last chance for people to convince the Government to stop a new nuclear power station from being built in Bradwell.
