Windfarm info day postponed

We've just heard from Mainstream that the information day has been postponed (3.40pm, Thursday).

Rochfortbridge Windfarm Information Group is holding a protest outside St Joseph's Parish Hall tomorrow evening, Friday September 27, to coincide with wind turbine developer Mainstream Power's information day in the venue.

Mainstream, which, along with fellow developer Element have been accused of a lack of transparency by opposition groups in Westmeath, says that the purpose of the information day is to "inform residents about our plans to carry out a series of environmental impact assessments at the proposed wind farm study areas in the vicinity of Rochfortbridge."

The firm's information day runs from 1pm to 7pm, while the protest begins at 5pm.
