Are the Proposals safe?
Important Notice

These pictures are generic and unless described as such are not necessarily specific to the type of turbines proposed at Inner Farm

'On the 23rd of December one of the five 200ft wind turbines at the Nissan Car plant suffered a catastrophic fire after undergoing unsuccessful attempts to repair a fault. The entire structure, including nacelle (the box on top of the tower, to which the blades are attached) and 75ft long blades were destroyed. Police were forced to close the nearby A1231 and A19 for over an hour and half, until the turbine structure had burned away, because of safety fears.'

    A turbine propeller blade has folded in half at the UK's first electricity-generating
    offshore wind farm, at Blyth, in Northumberland.

    An investigation of the cause of the failure at the Crystal Rig complex in the north
    east Borders, Scotland's most powerful, has still to be completed.
