I FIND it hard to believe that more than three-quarters of people affected are in support of the proposed wind park.

Surely a survey should have been carried out by an independent body.

My experience is that here at Barton on Sea most people are not in favour.

I would like to join a protest group but do not know how to go about forming one.

While my wife and I are very keen to see renewable energy sources and we went to see the firm’s presentation, we were not convinced that the project would be cost-effective.

We were told that the turbines could not operate when it was too cold, when there was not enough wind and when the wind was too strong!

So, where does the power come from when they are not working?

We cannot understand why more research is not being carried out into a much more reliable source – and that is wave or tide power.

This is much more consistent and which would not leave unsightly blots on the landscape of our beautiful coast.
