From: G Arthur Salmon, Adel, Leeds.
I write to support your correspondent William Rees in his view that the proposed huge wind farm at Walshaw Dean is a ‘Heavy price to pay’ and, indeed, I would go further and prefix this with the adverb ‘too’.
However, I wish to point out that a huge wind farm near Walshaw will affect a much wider area than just Calderdale and Hebden Bridge. The turbines will be on the hills that separate Calderdale from the Upper Worth and Aire valleys and will dominate in the popular Bronte touristic Country. They are also likely to be prominent further to the north on Rombald’s and Ilkley Moors.
