Residents of Fylde express dissatisfaction with their borough council for not doing enough to raise awareness and challenge plans for wind farm cables and substations. The council's objections are deemed insufficient and untimely.
Residents in Fylde criticize their borough council for insufficient efforts in raising awareness and challenging plans for wind farm cables and substations. The project involves undersea cables landing near Blackpool Airport and running underground to two substations between Kirkham and Newton. The Planning Inspectorate accepted an application for a Development Consent Order , initiating a six-month examination process.
Fylde Council objected to the lack of community engagement but residents believe the objections were too late. Concerns over the project include potential disruption and loss of livelihoods
