Lindhurst Wind Farm, Approved ! PDF Print E-mail
A huge thank you to all that came out on cold days to get letters of support signed and Young Greens who organised a couple of stalls to support The Lindhurst Wind Farm, Nottingham's first wind farm. We had our first wind farm approved which means good, clean energy for 5,000 homes for at least 25 years. Hopefully this will mean that Eakring wind farm may be approved too which is now going to appeal.
 
I have no doubt that without the 3,200 letters (including one from Caroline Lucas, Green MEP) of support that this would have been another of the 2 out of 3 wind farms that are rejected in the U.K.
 
It was a high drama and tense committee meeting but common sense prevailed... ......... ........for once the Tories came through on the Green agenda (not unanimously though as one of them was hell bent that there should be a nuclear power station instead!!)
 
Beth.
