  • So far so good – both Councils have refused permission for the turbines planned for the Chelveston Airfield site
  • New report casts doubt on wind turbine claims – see Links page
  • The greatest scam of our age? -see Daily Mail article on Links page
  • They did it! See the account of Carole Hall’s climb of Mount Suilven to raise funds for Preserve
  • Size DOES matter! A balloon was flown over two weekends to demonstrate the approximate height of the turbines proposed for the Chelveston Airfield.
  • PRESERVE has found out that Local Planning Authorities have the right to establish a minimum distance between new wind turbines and existing dwellings – see ‘Too Close for Comfort’
  • ‘Setting the Story Straight’, PRESERVE’s challenge to CRE’s view of the area surrounding the Chelveston Airfield as a “flat … and featureless landscape” .
  • The Spring 2010 edition of Discover Bedfordshire had a two page spread on the history of Yelden and Melchbourne – so much for CRE’s claim that there are no “historic or cultural heritage features which are close to the sites of the proposed turbines”.
