The Groton Pylon Alliance is a new conservation group formed in September 2009 to represent the interests of a number of villages in south Suffolk in relation to National Grid’s proposed infrastructure project for a new 400kV overhead line from Bramford near Ipswich to Twinstead near Sudbury.

The GPA currently includes the villages of Groton, Kersey, Boxford, Edwardstone, Aldham, Milden, Chelsworth, Semer, Whatfield, Nedging-with-Naughton, Elmsett, Little Waldingfield, Great Waldingfield, Lavenham, Brent Eleigh, Monks Eleigh, Bildeston and Lindsey although other villages and communities in south Suffolk potentially affected by National Grid proposals and sharing the GPA’s aims are very welcome to contact and work with the GPA.

Our website is intended to provide the people of south Suffolk with information on the GPA. It will be updated regularly with details of its activities, including reports on its ongoing dialogue with National Grid.
