Based in Bridgwater and the construction site, they are an important link between Hinkley Point C and the wider community. Each of the six experienced team members brings a different area of expertise, from community engagement to road safety.

Leading the team is Sergeant Esther Lawson, who is keen to ensure the team is visible and approachable.

How is Hinkley Point C benefiting the local community?
Alongside Hinkley Point C’s vital role in providing the country with secure low-carbon electricity, I’m very proud of the significant benefits we provide to our local communities. Maximising the benefits of Hinkley Point C has been a long term collaborative effort, but one which I’m confident will also lead to much longer term opportunity for people and businesses across Somerset and the Sout West.
