Researched and written by Candida Whitmill and published in February 2006, for, and on behalf of, the Small Business Council, "UK Energy Policy: The Small Business Perspective & The Impact on the Rural Economy", examines the potential detrimental impact industrial scale wind farms could have on small businesses located close to them.

 
CAT Action Committee

Following the public meeting at Halwill on 30th June 2008, the decision has been taken to form an action committee and decide the roles and responsibilities needed to professionally oppose this development.

Everyone that has expressed an interest in getting involved is being contacted either by email or telephone to inform them that the first meeting to settle roles is on Monday 14th July 2008 at 8.00pm at Halwill Junction Village Hall again.

This campaign will no doubt be lengthy and hard fought, but it is one which has to be won to retain the unique beauty of the local area.
