E-on’s public consultation: Now you see it, now you don’t!

Hello and welcome to my blog. This is an embarrassing blog to write.  Embarrassing, because I relied upon a misleading webpage put up by e-on. As a result I published several blogs, (7th and 14th May), which would have mislead you, the reader. For that,  I am profoundly sorry. I have also been made to… Continue reading…

Rampion: Calling all Onshore Receptors

Rampion Episode 2: Retreat of the Turbines

I know it’s a bit late but, Happy New Year.  I hope it’s a great one for you. The year started well for East Street, which was named Place Shaper of the Year at the Keep Britain Tidy Awards, but less well for E.ON, which had to withdraw its application for Rampion Offshore Windfarm. Why, oh why, I hear… Continue reading…
