MEMBERS of the Bolam Area Action Group (BAAG) are delighted with RWE Npower Renewables’ statement that it will not be proceeding with its proposed wind turbine development at Bolam, near West Auckland, County Durham (Echo, July 19).
At this stage, I would like to thank everyone within Durham county and beyond for their support in opposing the scheme.
A special thanks to the BAAG members from the village who have worked tirelessly over the past 18 months to not only oppose the Bolam development, but to support other action groups.
I am hopeful this news will allow our village to return to its peaceful state where its “sense of place” is secured for the people of Bolam and future generations to enjoy its outstanding natural beauty.
Trevor Edwards, Chairman, Bolam Area Action Group.
