As part of the pre-application planning process for the Rogershill Farm community project DistGen hosted a public exhibition on Tuesday 10th August at the Drax Hall, Bere Regis between 6.30 and 9.30pm with presentation/Q&A sessions at 6.30pm and 8pm.
DistGen staff were be on-hand to explain both the physical elements of the turbine and the community investment opportunities.

UPDATE
Many thanks to those to attended the Bere Regis public meeting on Tuesday evening – we received an overwhelmingly positive response in person from the 25+ attendees and via completed questionnaires with 9 attendees in favour, 4 unsure and 1 against. As in our previous meetings we generally find once people see the relative small scale of the proposed turbine they are broadly in favour.

“I prefer offshore wind and inland PV. However, Dorset has a good record on renewables. This project would make a good demonstration.”
“I just hope the luddites dont grind you down!! Good luck”
“Very interesting. Thanks”
“Seems a good approach and possible investment opportunity”
“I feel this to be a very innovative proposal and certainly worthy of serious consideration”
“Not convinced wind turbines are the answer“
