Copy of an email sent to
Vigor Renewables after a meeting just now.
Dear Sir or Madam
I am a member of the Lady Bay Community Association, a local residents group which has been successful in protecting the land 'East of Lady Bay' from a multiplicity of damaging developments since 1976. The LBCA s not a NIMBY group - we have always been looking for some way of using the land which will add to the quality of life for the locals here in Rushcliffe, Nottingham. Our land is mostly the flood plain of the River Trent, but it is close to the City enough to make it look like good pickings for cash strapped councils. Now we have yet another scheme planned for this land, the details are so daft as to make listing them pointless, but, rather than just say 'No' as any good NIMBY would, we want something better.
Please will you consider looking in to the possibility of building a 'Westray' type wind turbine - or ten - in our area? It is windy as the land is wide, flat and open - but it is not high. Our windmill 'Greens' mill has been restored and runs perfectly well in our wind, but it is on a hill.
I put the idea of a wind turbine to a meeting this evening and the idea was jumped on with full and excited support. It's not just Islanders who know which way the wind is blowing !
We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Regards, Simon Anthony for the LBCA in Nottingham
