Work to start on £10 million scheme to improve Silsden s power network

WORK on a £10 million programme to improve Silsden s electricity network will start this month. Northern Powergrid says the project – which will run until the end of 2024 – will involve the replacement of five kilometres of extra-high-voltage underground cables and 55km of overhead lines, dating back to the 1960s. The programme, which is scheduled to start on May 24, comprises 11 separate schemes. Also included will be the construction of a new electricity substation. Northern Powergrid says the work will help the town meet future power demands and significantly enhance the landscape, with a number of existing power lines and electricity poles due for removal.

Major £10m power network upgrade for Silsden - what you need to know | Bradford Telegraph and Argus

A MAJOR £10 million project will get underway in Silsden later this month to upgrade the power network which serves the town. Starting on Monday, May 24, and running until the end of 2024, the investment work consists of eleven separate schemes and focuses on replacing 5km of extra high voltage underground electricity cables, and 55km of overhead lines dating back to the 1960s, with more modern and sustainable alternatives. A new electricity substation is also being constructed. This new equipment will be capable of meeting any future increase in the demand for power as the town develops, the population grows and more people swap their cars for electric vehicles.

Controversial plan for houses on canalside field in Silsden are approved

And one objector to the scheme said the decision doesn t inspire my confidence in local democracy. An application to build over 40 homes on a field next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal, known as the Willows, was refused by members of Bradford Council s Regulatory and Appeals Committee last year. Members felt that the vehicle access to the site, off Hainsworth Road, was inadequate to support a housing estate of this size. Applicant Mick Smith appealed that decision, but his appeal was dismissed by a planning inspector last Summer. However - that decision did not prove to be the victory for objectors they may have originally thought it was.
