They kept back Saxon invaders 1,500 years ago and now the 21st
century inhabitants of a tiny hamlet are braced to repel a wind turbine.
Residents of Maesbury in the Mendip parish of Croscombe have
reacted with dismay to the proposal for a small quarry off the Old Frome
Road once grazed by a solitary cow.
The single turbine, more than 300 feet high,LED markingmachine

ridge line for 20 miles around. Plans include an electrical sub-station
and associated infrastructure, and wider access onto the narrow Old

The
structure would be less than 500 metres away from houses whose
occupants fear they who would be affected by flicker, and intense,
low-frequency sound.
A spokesman for Action Against Turbines on
Mendip, (Aatom) said: “This turbine would be a disaster in so many ways,
not just for people but for bats and other wild life.”
“But
perhaps most outrageous is the effect such an out-of-place development
would have on Maesbury Castle. This internationally important Scheduled
Ancient Monument and Iron Age hilltop fort is Mendip’s most famous
asset. Any structure over 300 feet high will dominate the fort for miles
around and will drastically affect the setting of this special
landscape feature.
The company's engineers briefed the students
on the company's wind turbine manufacturing techniques, as well as its
research and development program and quality control and safety testing
programs.
The students were also briefed on all the different
stages of the production line for wind turbines that are used in
electrical power plants via hydrothermal power generators. They are also
used in nuclear reactors. The production process consists of four main
stages, i.e, design and planning, collection, testing,Shop for rollformer

Lights, HID Light Bulbs and HID Conversion Kit. and transport. The
power generating units that have been manufactured since the
establishment of the company in 1903 have generated approximately
170,000,000 kilowatts of energy, and the production capacity of the
plant ranges from 15 to 20 units per year.
“Of historical
interest, the area round the fort acted as a boundary between the Romano
British Celts and the West Saxons in the year 577 to 652AD. The views
from the top stretch to Glastonbury right across the Somerset Levels.”
Resident
Jean Sanders-Crook said yesterday: “It would be visible across a huge
area, and research has shown that these turbines don’t pay without

for your home! We would be able to see this from all the windows at the
front of our house. We are in our 70s and were going to move to
somewhere more suitable but we would find it very difficult now. We hope
that Mendip District Council will see sense and reject it.”
The
chairman of the Campaign to Protect Rural England in Somerset,
professor Chris Lewis said: “CPRE Somerset will be opposing this
application as we have opposed previous applications for wind turbines
in the Mendip area. Although we support renewable forms of energy in
general, the site proposed in this application is most inappropriate.”
“The
site is within a short distance of the boundary of an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a groundswell of local opinion to
create an extended AONB for the entire Mendip Hills.”
Chairman of the Mendip Society,Sunshine Works will help you design lamp
kits and solar power backup systems. Graham Price, said “These turbines
severely damage the visual amenity of any area and this is a designated
National Character Area extending from the edge of Weston-super-Mare in
the west to the boundary of Frome in the east.”
