Welcome to your site. 'Wingates Not Wind Farms' action group is set up to fight the proposals by Infinis (formerly Novera), BT plc and Res (UK) Ltd (among others) in their plans to build several wind farm sites which would dominate Wingates village and the surrounding area which borders on the popular National Park area of the Simonside Hills.
Our 3 key objectives are simple
Protect Northumberland landscape
Protect Northumberland people
Protect Northumberland local businesses

“In Northumberland alone, both heaven and earth are seen; we walk all day on long ridges, high enough to give far views of moor and valley, and the sense of solitude far below… It is the land of far horizons” GM Trevelyan
View from Simonside. Wingates lies in the centre. This stunning open view, which lifts the spirit of thousands of visitors, would be totally dominated by Infinis and BT turbines reaching up to approx the same height as this ridge.
How can anyone allow this to happen?
