My husband and our 4 sons have lived in villages around Northamptonshire for over 30 years.  Just 3 years ago we followed our eldest son and his family to one of the villages now affected by the threatened Great Cransley Windfarm application. We joined the Action Group from day one and have become much more au fait with facts and figures of these threats to our landscape and lives.

The other Friday I set off to visit a friend in Daventry having checked my E-mails from the `Stop the Great Cransley Windfarm` Action Group before departure.  I drove towards Lamport passing `Stop the Harrington Windfarm` signs on the way.  Turning right at The Swan, I headed towards Maidwell and noticed a`Stop the Brixworth Windfarm` sign ahead.  Further along the A508 I turned left towards Haselbech and was greeted with numerous `Stop the Kelmarsh Hall Windfarm` posters as I headed out Naseby way.

At this point I started to wonder if this part of our county is heading towards not only fulfilling targets for the production of renewable energy from windfarms for Northants but indeed the whole of the East Midlands!!!!

I am appealing to all the residents of Great Cransley, Broughton, Mawsley, Loddington and more, take the time and trouble to search out the facts (the internet is full of them) provided by the many families living near to windfarms - the effects on their lives.

For them it is too late, don’t let it happen to us!
