A new group has been formed to oppose the growing use of wind turbines in Denbighshire. But I thought there was advantages to their use - so much so that I noticed you can buy your own turbine - £1,500 all in - in one well known DIY superstore.
Anyway, Hiraethog Alliance aren't happy about them and is made up of the Ramblers’ Association, two North Wales Branches of Council for the Protection of Rural Wales, People Against Corwen/Cerrig Turbines and Denbighshire Against Rural Turbines.
In Denbighshire, a public inquiry starts on March 26 into proposals for a wind farm development at Wern Ddu, Gwyddelwern, as Tegni Cymru Cyf Limited appealed against the decision of Denbighshire Council to refuse permission for five turbines at Wern Ddu.
An appeal has also been lodged against the authority regarding another four turbines at the same site, according to .
Do you reckon they're an eyesore or a valuable source of green energy?
