Lifton Farmshop Wind Turbine built!

Posted on March 24, 2014 by mabrake

The second monstrosity to be built around Lifton was erected over the weekend and now towers over the Farm shop and of course can be seen for miles around.

This has been built against many local peoples wishes  so my recommendation is that if you don’t approve, stay away from the Farm Shop and encourage your friends to do likewise.  I haven’t used the farm shop since they first proposed building a 77m turbine!

Blimp to be flown at 77m to show height of proposed Turbine

Posted on March 18, 2014 by mabrake

CPRE Devon have arranged for a blimp to be flown at Langs Linhay, Shebbear EX21 5RQ at a height of 77m.    The area is facing another 2 x 77m wind turbines – one at Badworthy Farm, Shebbear and another nearby at Eastwood Farm, Peters Marland.  2 x 77m wind turbines have already been approved in very close proximity at Alscott Farm and Durpley Farm, but neither have yet been built, so its impossible for people to fully appreciate how high 77m actually is.    The balloon will be flown from 9am to 5pm on Friday 4th April and everyone is welcome to come along.

Geoffrey Cox MP will be present in the morning for the launch.

Wortham Wind Turbine built

Posted on March 16, 2014 by mabrake

“The mist moved and it was there” is how one Mabrake member described seeing the Wortham Wind Turbine for the first time this morning!  The Turbine was built over the weekend by a German team which once again explodes the myth that Wind Turbines help protect British jobs!

Travel down the road from Chillaton to Lifton and you will see the huge monstrosity (77m to the Tip) towering over the countryside on your right hand side and surprisingly its some two miles away.  Shortly from the same spot you will see the new Lifton Farm Shop turbine (same size of 77m) three times bigger that the existing one!

If the Ridgecombe Farm turbine becomes reality then that will just be above the spot described above on the Chillaton to Lifton road and the three will make a perfect triangle around Lifton!

How can this be happening?
