Esso is planning to replace 90km of its 105km underground aviation fuel pipeline that runs from Southampton to London. A large portion of the existing pipeline, and the proposed new route for the replacement pipeline, pass through Surrey Heath.

Esso has been consulting local residents, but significant concerns have been raised regarding the Turf Hill portion of the proposed pipeline in Lightwater.

Michael met local Councillors and concerned residents in August, and has written to Esso, the Planning Inspectorate, Surrey Heath Borough Council and Natural England to raise his constituents’ objections.

An update will be posted in due course.
