Well done to Hindolveston!

Delighted to hear from my friends in Hindolveston in North Norfolk that the campaign against Energtrag's planned wind turbines at Guestwick has been successful and they will not now be built. Very many congratulations to Sarah Pettegree and her colleagues who fought a text book community based campaign. I hope my advice at the beginning proved of some little use. Well done guys!

Hurrah! A victory for fossil fuels!

Daniel, don't comment on an issue you cannot possibly understand! These wind turbines would have been a colossal blight on the local enviornment and produced very little energy. It's a victory for common sense.

Fair enough, really. If sea levels rise, it's norfolk that gets flooded first.

We have five windfarms in the area and the number may soon rise to seven, we have a mixture of onshore and offshore.

I'll admit that initially I thought they detracted from the landscape but from the information available the ones in this area seem to have had little effect on the environment, could you let us know what impacts this particular development would have had?
