What is Lion Link?

LionLink is a project by National Grid Ventures Ltd (NGV) to bring ashore power cables connecting the UK to Holland at a greenfield site in the middle of Walberswick village.

This will involve major construction work over a number of years in and around the village which will have a huge impact on the wildlife and the environmentally protected habitats that surround Walberswick, as well as on the residents and the economy of the village.

WALL (Walberswick Against LionLink) is a local campaigning organisation formed by a group of Walberswick residents opposed to National Grid’s LionLink proposal. It started as a WhatsApp group which grew to have over 230 members. WALL is run by volunteers who are organised through a Steering Group with sub-groups working on Communications, Fund-raising,  Environment, Legal, Energy Strategy and other topics.
