RAF Greatworth, the future.

Posted by Martin on September 2, 2010 at 3:35 AM

The proposed `High Speed Rail Link' that will slice through the Old TX Hall and the CO's House in a few years time, isn't the only cloud on the horizon. There is also a proposal for a wind farm, to be built, it is said, on the other side of Welsh Lane, where the original railway line was. This will not, it is thought, further demolish RAF Greatworth, but Greatworth's villagers are showing deep concerns about these developments so close to their village and are worried about the impact upon their peacefull rural environment. Railways and windfarms aren't known for their lack of noise, destruction of rural setting is their game and the villagers, I'm told, want none of it. I have been asked by one of their number, If we would support them in any way and if so, would we allow a platform (No not a railway station!!) on our site? So a concensus of the memberships opinion is sought on the matter. Further details from Mr N. Ward at :-
