Background
A project as ambitious as the Bradwell B nuclear power station can open up huge opportunities for the community of Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex, through high-quality jobs, economic growth, skills and training initiatives.
At the same time, such projects bring with it potentially big impacts for a local community and gain considerable interest from members of that community concerned about their environment.
Although still in the early days of planning, the project is committed to engagement with those affected by all aspects of the development, including neighboring communities, local authorities, and relevant regulatory bodies. Answering the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic, and the obvious need to keep people safe.
