Windfarm protesters call for tax cuts
Campaigners are calling for a cut in council tax for homes blighted by wind farms in Mid Wales. They claim new plans will devalue their homes.
They say plans to build hundreds of turbines across Powys — many approaching the height of Blackpool Tower — will wipe thousands of pounds off the value of nearby homes.
They now want to see reduced council tax bills for all homes within three miles of any windfarm.
