Andrew joined local residents and members of Saxby Wold Against Turbines at a meeting in Worlaby this week to discuss the proposed wind farm at Saxby Wold.

Andrew reports, "I was delighted to be invited to attend this meeting which was a follow on from the meeting I attended in Bonby last week. There was a good turn out at the meeting with many of those present expressing concerns about the proposal.

In particular, there are concerns about noise from the turbines which has been well documented at other wind farm developments. Personally, I am very sceptical about the amount of turbines which are being proposed locally as my own view is that turbines should really be set off-shore.

I also support Conservative proposals to re-direct some of the subsidies which are presently directed at wind farms, into developing alternative renewable energy sources such as geo-thermal energy."
