Power Lines

There may be good news on the subject of the power lines crossing the centre of Blacka. We have always wondered if the cables could be undergrounded via another route and first raised it 'officially' via CPRE and the wildlife trust in February of last year after maintenance workers had arrived to destroy many trees judged likely to interfere with their lines. That left an eyesore that we would prefer not to see again.

Now there is some talk about re-routing being planned along Whitelow Lane which will eventually enable the Blacka lines to be removed. We will not be celebrating just yet but are casually checking the champagne prices.
