The Journal Newspaper claims that almost 250 wind turbines owned by energy companies could be erected all over the North East according to current plans, ruining the lush, green and picturesque landscape. Alnwick has already been unfortunate in being an approved location for a handful of turbines.
Chairwoman for the North Northumberland Tourism Association, Ruth McNeely stated “Areas of North Northumberland are areas of unspoilt beauty and that is one of the big tourist attractions. Turbines have the potential to spoil that”.
The Save our Unspoilt Landscape (SOUL) and Moorsyde Action Group (MAG) are raising funds to fight the proposals and aim to reach £100,000 by hosting three exciting events and they welcome any donations.
