Residents get their first chance later to have a say on where new power lines should be placed through North Somerset.

National Grid's launched a public consultation on how best to link a proposed new power plant at Hinkley Point with a substation at Avonmouth.

Campaigners have objected to a 50-mile stretch of pylons saying it would ruin the countryside - and the Grid have said they'll consider running come cables underground.

Today's first drop-in event is at Winscombe Community Centre between 2 and 8 p-m.
