Some residents near to one of our community schemes apparently felt they were being almost press-ganged into signing a petition objecting to the project going ahead. During door-to-door cold calling residents were told the wind turbine would be…
“like constantly having traffic driving right past your house when your windows are open”
..and encouraged to sign up.
Of course this is pure scaremongering and sadly, to be expected. We hope that the more enlightened mind will either take the time to read our planning applications and public consultation materials or perhaps even go and personally visit a mid-sized wind turbine (such as the one here) before coming to any conclusions – just as members of one Parish Council did.
For anyone with genuine concerns about one of our schemes we will do everything within our power to answer your questions thoroughly and as accurately as is possible. To ask a question or raise an issue please use our contact page.
A very useful Q&A page on wind turbines can be found here.
