Opik hands in turbine petition
Wednesday 15th July 2009, 2:55PM BST.
MP Lembit Opik has presented a petition to Parliament demanding a public inquiry into plans for a large number of windfarms in Powys.
Welshpool Town Council has been fighting to stop any windfarm transportation from travelling through the area.
The Montgomeryshire MP said his constituents are concerned about the logistics of transporting a very large amount of material by road. Petitioners include the Mayor of Welshpool, Councillor Ann Holloway.
