A RETIRED oyster fisherman has voiced his concerns about the future of marine life in the Blackwater estuary if plans for a Chinese power station at Bradwell go ahead.
Last week it was revealed a £2billion deal could “open the door” for the Chinese to build a new nuclear power plant at Bradwell.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said the Government’s approval of a multi-billion pound guarantee to underwrite Chinese financing of the Hinkley Point nuclear power station in Somerset would pave the way for “majority Chinese ownership” of the Bradwell site.
Retired Blackwater fisherman Alan Bird said: “If a new power station is built that will destroy the Blackwater.”
