AM joins battle against turbines
Aberavon Am Brian Gibbons has joined the chorus of disapproval against plans to bring the UK’s tallest wind turbines to the Afan Valley. Gamesa Energy UK wants to put 14 turbines there.
With a 120-metre tower and a 64-metre blade, the structures would stand well over four times the height of Swansea’s big wheel.

Dr Gibbons joins opponents including Aberavon MP Hywel Francis who has already spoken out against the proposals.
