Developers tear down 'health hazard' pylons

Article Abstract:

Eastern Electric has been instructed by Barking Reach Co and Bellway Homes, which are heading a consortium of developers building a key 202 ha scheme at Barking Reach, east of London, England, to remove 10.25 miles of overhead power lines and 15 pylons. This follows concern about possible links between overhead power lines and cancer. The move will cost English Partnerships, from which the consortium will seek grant assistance, more than 3 million pounds sterling.
