As part of our commitment to engaging with communities at every stage of the work at Cellarhead, we’ll be updating residents and stakeholders on our progress.

On Wednesday 21 May 2025 we held a public drop-in event at Wetley Rocks Village Hall. At this event we presented details about the planned construction activity ahead of work starting, the temporary closures and diversions to the public rights of way around the site, as well as about our Community Grant Programme.

Community Grant Programme

National Grid’s Community Grant Programme is aimed at community organisations and charities in areas where our work is impacting local people through our operations and construction. 

This supports groups and initiatives across a range of areas, from those that provide social, economic and educational benefits, to environmental and conservation projects. 

Communities impacted by maintenance and the construction of new infrastructure can apply for grants of up to £20,000. 

Our other schemes have helped to support a wide range of local projects, from renovating village halls and funding interpretation boards, to helping football and cricket clubs upgrade their facilities.
