P-04-329 : Control of Noise Nuisance from Wind Turbines

GALAR Community Volunteer Group

For the Attention of William Powell ~ Chair Petitions Committee

Wednesday, 30 May 2012

Dear William,

Our group has asked me to extend our thanks to yourself, and the petitions committee for the excellent service you have provided to us, as appellants on our recent petition with regard to the control on wind farm noise.

We feel the system in place in Wales, is far superior to the National Parliament model, in that it gives fair consideration to the subject; where the National model only promises a knockabout debate if you qualify in a numbers contest.  We feel our issue on Wind Farm Noise has been very fairly handled, and given us a strong platform to take the issue forward, by other democratic means, in the near future.

Has acknowledged, the Welsh system is a superior method, but its success for us, owed much to your committee’s way of hearing our grievances, and from a personal point of view the guidance supplied to myself in raising and monitoring the petition, by your staff, played a large part in that success.

Yours Sincerely,

Jim
