The website below is run by residents who are concerned with the impact that the proposed redevelopment will have on Oldbury and the Severn Vale.
They have variety of personal views, but share one main concern: that the redevelopment will go ahead without people really understanding what is at stake until it is too late.
Oldbury's primary objective is to generate and sell electricity, while maintaining a safe and secure working environment. Work is also underway to ensure a seamless transition to the defuelling phase and the start of decommissioning.
