Public Exhibition for Castle Farm Community Wind Turbine by DistGen
A public meeting and exhibition is to be held on July 15th 2010 between 6pm and 9.30pm at the Old School House, Lower Road, East Farleigh.
The exhibition will be to present DistGen's proposal to install a medium sized wind turbine on the site of Castle Farm (Heath Road). If planning permission is granted the community will be able to invest directly in the turbine and thereby benefit financially from it. In addition a percentage of the annual revenue would be gifted to the Parish Council for investment back into the community.
As well as fixed displays there will be a presentation plus Q&A session. DistGen staff will be on hand to answer your questions throughout the evening.
