According to a poll in this weekend's Accrington Observer, 77% of people are in favour of the wind farm, and only 23% are against it. Results which certainly aren't reflected in the letters page of the paper.

The proposed development will be on Oswaldtwistle moors, and consist of 24 windmills, each of which will be 130m/426 feet high. (Blackpool Tower is 158m/518 feet high.)

It will be interesting to see if a poll on Accy Web reflects the findings in the Observer, as the results will, and are being used by the company, EnergieKontor, who are based in Yorkshire, to get the proposal past the planners.

What do we think?
