4. ★ A call for the fiscal value of the detriment to the environment caused by pylons to inform decisions to use them.

6. ★ A call for your MP to ensure that the economics of electricity transmission is looked at from a broad economic perspective that includes impacts to other industries and not just from the narrow point of view of the electricity industry.
