Our gazebo looked well with new feather flags and bunting, the 2 Saturdays were in the field and on both days it was very windy, so couldn’t have CPRW banners up, but were able to at the table in the marquee at the Denbigh & Flint Show.
To the question ‘Do you think the countryside is protected enough ?’ in Welsh and English in a coin choice of YES or NO – great majority answered NO with many conversations and concerns why – many different reasons ranging from biodiversity and nature, to rubbish, this from farmers too, our rivers, and some to windfarms, particularly in remote, upland beautiful areas and to pylons, some for many reasons. All are very concerned about how the energy the world needs is provided, some people are neutral or in favour of windfarms.
