Very good presentation given by Andrew Kingham yesterday at Anderby Village Hall.This area will become one big buliding site if this goes ahead.Our roads can barely cope with holiday traffic let alone 4500 HGV trips.

I don’t think anyone came to this area thinking it was going to be develpoed in such an radical manner.

Another final thought: how much will the depreciation be on your houses when they are under water?

Many of the arguments given by NIMBYs are based on unsubstantiated falsehoods such as noise or the effects on wildlife.
Even the RSPB has changed its thinking on windfarms and now says ‘Wind power has a significant role to play in the UK’s fight against climate change. With the right strategic approach and planning safeguards, it can be expanded without significant detrimental effects on birds of conservation concern or their habitats.’

A major objection raised by most protestors is that they are worried about losing their view, particularly when it is in an area of natural beauty. Whilst this is perfectly understandable, it is not allowed as an objection in the normal planning process where somebody wishes to extend their home, build a property or business in a position that would spoil your view, so why should it be a legitimete reason to object to something that is for the benefit of everyone?

Climate change is not just going to affect other people; it will be devastating to you too!

One final thought - these wind turbines are said to be 416ft, Blackpool tower is 518ft. Imagine 6 slightly smaller Blackpool towers on the landscape!!!!

Did anyone read the Lincolnshire guide in this week’s Target? It states that “Anderby Creek is an unspoilt hamlet hailed as a hidden coastal gem. It attracts visitors each year who have discovered an idyllic hideaway. A preservation order order helps keep life as quiet and traditional as it has been for generations.” Furthermore, the article states “Mile upon mile of coastline - unchanged and undeveloped - offers a haven for lovers of the great outdoors”.

Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust stated some time ago when discussing and promoting the Coastal Park that “The presence of wind turbines would effectively sterilise the area South of Anderby Creek and would seriously reduce the viability of this initiative”.

ELDC’s Facebook site states one of their ambitions is to “nurture our distinctive and vibrant communities”.

Finally, for those of you who were unable to attend the meeting on Saturday morning and those who query the cost of depreciation of their homes, it was mentioned that you can expect a depreciation of between 30 and 50% if the wind farm proposal is accepted.

Plenty of food for thought here!

It was standing room only at the Public Meeting with more than 100 people attending. There was a show of hands and only four or five people said they were in favour of the Turbines.

It was suggested that we set up a formal ANDERBY WINDFARM ACTION GROUP.
Please would anyone feels that they are prepared to help its formation and contribute their time and energy, attend a meeting at 11AM on SATURDAY 13th MARCH at ANDERBY VILLAGE HALL.
YOUR VILLAGE NEEDS YOU!

And ask your local TORY reps if you would be having this meeting now if they had never closed all the pits.

A local resident has organised a PUBLIC MEETING at 11am on SATURDAY 6th MARCH in ANDERBY VILLAGE HALL.
Speakers will include:-
* SIR PETER TAPSELL, MP - our local Member of Parliament
* COUNCILLOR EDDY POLL - Executive Councillor for Economic Development and Strategic Planning - Lincolnshire County Council
* COUNCILLOR COLIN DAVIE - Chairman of Environmental Scrutiny and Member for Anderby - Lincolnshire County Council
* Hopefully YOU!

This is your last chance to show East Lindsey District Council that you do not want a Wind farm less than half a mile from Anderby Village and Anderby Creek; we expect ELDC to make their Planning decision within the next couple of months.

Chatting to local residents over the past few weeks I was surprised that lots of people either didn’t know about the proposal or didn’t realise how near it was to their houses!
I looked again at the “Environmental Impact Assessment” that accompanies the plans and was suprised to see that many houses are mentioned by name as likely to suffer from either light flicker, noise or ruined views. Or possibly all three! I recommend that EVERYBODY should take the time to look at the documents on ELDC’s website. It’s a massive download - at just under 80MB filesize - but you can get it here - http://www.eldc.gov.uk/e-docs/97362_1.pdf .
