Welshpool wind turbines fight: Turbines protest goes to AMs
Civic leaders were travelling to Cardiff today to take their fight to prevent thousands of lorries from “destroying” a Mid Wales town to the Welsh Assembly.
Welshpool Town Council has been fighting to stop any windfarm transportation from travelling through the town.
Town mayor Ann Holloway, Councillors Estelle Bleivas and John Meredith and council clerk Robert Robinson were making the trip.
Mr Robinson said a petition seeking a public inquiry would be delivered to the Assembly.
He said: “We hope that by handing in this petition action will be taken to help address the situation.”
He said a petition would also be delivered to Westminster.
