Countryside under Assault

















Land at Stoneton/ Wormleighton, to be destroyed if the plan goes ahead.

The tiny and historic village of Wormleighton is under assault, and with a population of 80 they do not have many voices to protest about the destruction of their environment, firstly by the HS2 Train-line and secondly by plans for 13 x 120 m high turbines. This plan is being proposed by the Spencer Trust who own the surrounding land, and EDF, the French Energy Group.

More to follow on this, later today, but if you care about South Warwickshire and Northants, and want to object at once, you can go to this link:

You can look at associated documents to see what others have written.

This is a very important historic and ecologically rich site. The medieval moated farmstead is one of only two fully moated buildings in Warwickshire. See;
