Wind turbine plans for outskirts of Newbold Verdon

By Rachel Parrish, 28 Feb 2014, hinckleytimes.net

People in Newbold Verdon will have the chance to find out about proposals to put up a wind turbine close to the village at a drop-in session in St James’ Church hall on March 6.

Renewable energy company Res wants to consult with members of the public before submitting a formal application for the project.

It wants to put up a singe turbine to the north-east of Newbold Verdon, about 9km south of Coalville.

The company is also hoping to put up a turbine to the west of Bagworth.

It will be holding a drop-in session about that proposal on March 5 at Bagworth community centre.

Res project manager Rebecca Meek said: “We are looking forward to welcoming local people and interested parties to our public exhibitions to view our proposals.

“Single-turbine wind projects like these are important because not only do they contribute to the security of energy supply, they generate electricity for use on the local distribution network.”
