Bolam and Area Action Group

NPower have submitted a scoping report that proposes up to seven giant wind turbines as high as a
40 storey building just a few hundred metres from the tranquil Teesdale village of Bolam in County Durham. We believe this will destroy the peaceful nature of our village for ever. The turbines will tower over the tiny village and be visible from as far away as Durham City, Billingham, the Stanhope Moors and Northallerton. (Source NPower scoping report)

Click the E.T.S.U. link to read why  experts regard the Government's guidance paper on dealing with noise from wind farms as "laughable" and "seriously flawed", failing in their stated purpose of protecting the environment of nearby residents.

On our Downloads page you can download expert papers on Noise, Flicker and Health Problems associated with wind turbines.

The News page includes up to date information and news about the campaign to save Bolam from the wind turbine blight.

The F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions) page attempts to answer common questions with references to sources. Unlike many pro wind sites we try to be objective and scientific in our answers.

The Map page shows how close the proposed site is to our quiet, rural village!
