Research

There are an overwhelming number of websites that you can visit to gather more information. These cover research documents from independent experts and Government agencies, the websites of Groups in other parts of the UK who are campaigning against wind farms in their locality, through to the testimonies and video clips of real people who wish to share their experiences. They can be easily found via Google typing such things as Wind Farm Noise, Wind Farm Flicker etc.

Please note that we do not endorse any of the views expressed in any of the related links and of course, with everything you read we would say to be wary of who wrote it and who may have commissioned them to write it. You will have to make your own judgement on which information you believe to be the most impartial and relevant to the Dorcas Wind Farm, and whether you consider the pitfalls and risks to be worth it.

If you agree with us, please object.
