Protest as decision due on turbines
Dozens of people living near the site of a proposed windfarm are due to demonstrate outside a meeting in north Shropshire tonight.
More than 50 people living near Lower Farm, Bearstone, near Market Drayton, will turn out at the meeting of North Shropshire District Council’s development control committee with banners and placards protesting against the seven giant wind turbines proposed for the site.
Protesters were also due to fly a blimp over the site at 110 metres, the proposed height of the wind turbines, while councillors visited the site this afternoon.
