Green Party has ”deep misgivings” over Severn Barrage scheme

The Green Party said this week it has “deep misgivings” about the scale of the huge Severn Barrage being planned between Brean Down and Wales.

In a statement issued on Friday, the Green Party welcomed the bid to draw energy from the tides of the Bristol Channel, saying that it will put the “looming energy crisis” back on the agenda.

But it added that it does not support the scheme itself.

It comes a week after Burnham-On-Sea.com reported how Welsh businessman Gareth Woodham had launched an ambitious plan to build a barrage across the estuary between Brean Down, near Burnham-On-Sea (pictured) and Lavernock Point in Wales.
