TURNCOLE FARM WIND FARM

Breaking News, Just as Maldon District Council launch a comprehensive refusal to Ridgewind, another threat of windfarms arrive from RES. You may have recieved a glossy brochure from them .. addressed 'to the occupier' filled with the same empty promises and slight of hand .. We will keep you updated to how they intend to fox us into believing they will not ruin our Dengies with these 120m monsters

This particular site is situated a mile outside both Southminster and Burnham and extends North East to join the Middlewick farm site. (See map overleaf)

Turncole together with Middlewick gives a combined total of 16 turbines, which would be the largest grouping of turbines in England.

Add Bradwell’s 10 = 26 on the Dengie Peninsular!
