STINC - Stop Turbines In North Cornwall

About STINC

We represent a growing number of local people who are seriously worried about the new wind development currently being proposed for Davidstow, We already have wind farms at Delabole and Cold Northcott, but the biggest threat is the possibility of a Massive wind farm on Bodmin Moor.

The group was formed at a public meeting of about 200 residents on 13th August 2007 at Clease Hall, Camelford. All of the committee members are local residents and are working for the group as volunteers.
At first the proposal for the turbines at Davidstow Moor was the most pressing concern for most people, however we quickly learned from wind farm proliferation in other parts of the country, especially Scotland, that this area is extremely vulnerable to pressure from wind energy companies. So even though the development on Davidstow Moor has been turn down the company has returned with new plans . So there is nothing stopping another windfarm company re-applying in the future, and we could also be hit by a new proposal for a new site a couple of miles down the road. Bodmin Moor is not a national park and so has no protection from these threats and a wind farm at Davidstow would destroy an ecologically sensitive yet unprotected area .
