Another Wind Farm in the Cambrians

The meeting below may interest some of you who walk and bird in the hills.  Nant y Rast is about 8km SE of Llandewi Brefi and 7km NW of Dinas RSPB reserve above two beautiful and secret valleys.

Nantyrast wind farm proposal public meeting 17th March 2014

Meeting Monday 17th March
re. Nantyrast wind proposal
A recent proposal for 36 x 480 foot-high turbines in the area of Nantyrast and Cwrt-y-cadno, near the headwaters of the Pysgotwr and Cothi rivers, will be the subject of a Public Meeting next Monday, 17th March, at Cil-y-cwm School, starting at 7.30pm.

The meeting is organised jointly by the Cambrian Mountains Society and A.N.Ts (Against Nantyrast Turbines), and will be chaired by Sir David Lewis of Cwrt-y-cadno.

The huge turbines would be within the core Cambrian Mountains area,  and a line of 60-foot grid connection pylons would be built down the Cothi valley to Pumsaint. The development if allowed would devastate the upper Tywi and Cothi valleys.

All are welcome to hear the facts, and to have their say.
