PNF - Protect Nocton Fen Leaflet
This was delivered to local households yesterday.
Good news to see that the PNF - Protect Nocton Fen leaflet has now been distributed round the surrounding villages. While distributing leaflets round my local patch in Metheringham I got a mixed response from the few I chanced to speak to - one person had never even heard about it, another did not believe wind farms were the answer to our energy problems, and someone else said she loved them - my reply was "I hated them". Good too that the PNF website is now up and running.
ReplyDeleteOn a final note I totally support David Cameron in his bid to curb future wind farms. As it says in the newspaper there are already 4000 operating wind turbines, 3000 more with planning approval and goodness knows how many thousands more there are in the pipeline.
