Underground services cost way more money and create alot more damage to the environment, Say in ten years time there is an issue with the power cable? would you be happy about the land just recovering to be ripped up again ? I dont think so. This line is only to replace an existing line which you have showed pictures of, the reason for the height is a higher voltage, due to demand from the public etc, also to keep everyone safe. The existing line is also 60 years + old, Would you rather wait until they have failed ? fallen over ? totally decayed? causing massive disruption ? before replacing them? In 5 years time they will have weathered and wont look so harsh. Also i dont work for SSE. I am a young man of 24, i love nature and being outdoors, yes they're pretty ugly ! but we need them FACT. I found this page because I am proud of the work we have done.pylonpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540004930810199220.post-28260099657036297382013-12-18T21:25:03.702+00:002013-12-18T21:25:03.702+00:00I don't mind the wind turbines but I wish they...I don't mind the wind turbines but I wish they'd put the power lines underground.Jakehttp://www.jakes-bones.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540004930810199220.post-68909947369973559722013-12-18T21:23:32.147+00:002013-12-18T21:23:32.147+00:00Thanks !Thanks !Jakehttp://www.jakes-bones.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540004930810199220.post-42613412963235006272013-12-18T13:19:23.011+00:002013-12-18T13:19:23.011+00:00*bangs head on desk because of stupid developers*

Even a small piece of land can be planted over time as a woodland and animal habitat. Every little bit helps. and perhaps others will want to do the same. Start small, give Mother Nature a helping hand and you might be surprised at what it grows into.<br />So happy that I found your blog. You're very lucky to have parents that encourage your interests. Mine certainly didn't! hahaha Now I let my grandchildren play with the bones, skulls, etc. that I have around the house. My three year old thinks that the cow pelvis is a pretty cool piece of super-hero armor. chuckle<br />Keep up the fine work and good luck in all your endeavors!Alice Mae Lewisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540004930810199220.post-62766983781256324932013-11-14T19:13:48.530+00:002013-11-14T19:13:48.530+00:00Well said, Jake!
