Planning permission
has been put in to Allerdale for 5, 107metre turbines to be sites
at Westnewton, these turbines are alot bigger than the ones already up at Bothel
Please support Westnewton Parish Council and help them to stop these being passed
Its amazing how
many people we know have complained about the Windfarm at Bothel.
It appears that no matter were you are in the area you look up to what was once
a lovely view of the hills to be greeted by these wind turbines.
We are surrounded by them!
How long is it
now since these Wind Turbines went up at Bothel and they still dont have them
all working properly. There was also an article last week in the Times and Star
about more of these Wind Turbines planned.
Energy firm RES
has applied to erect 6 turbines at Tallentire
Broadview Energy has applied for 5, 107 metre turbines at West Newton
Plans are also in the pipeline for :
8 at Town head Dearham
5 by the main road in Prospect
2 at Wardhall
1 at the Manor House in Outerside
There are already 8 wind turbines at Bothel and 3 at Bolton Low Houses.
Some local residents are forming action groups against them which they say blight
the landscape
Its only a matter
of time before
we are completely surrounded by them.
There
was an interesting posting in our forum about landowners making alot of money
from
the siting of these turbines and one posting even stated that in some cases
they never
turn, they were sited because the landowner got a huge grant to site them on
his land.
Watch this space for further information as we will be watching the turbines
with interest!

We have just heard
that there is a new Government White paper on Planning,
this will allow Wind farms to be put up without it going to public consultation.
To register your disaproval of this white paper please write to
your Member of Parliament.
