Dear Mr Bradshaw

I appreciate this is outside your remit but I call upon
my MP to write to the Education Minister and protest against the installation
of wind turbines in school playgrounds as this photo clearly demonstrates.

The Board of Governors at this school are jumping on the profit bandwagon at the cost of child safety.

As you are aware,
collapsing wind turbines are quite common, and even if it doesn’t collapse there is a
danger of falling blades or ice. There is also the increased danger of lightning strikes.

I fully appreciate this particular wind turbine is a small size in
comparison, but I can safely say this wind turbine is non- compliant to HSE guidelines for
separation and should not be allowed.

For your information,action and files

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield

Dear Sir or Madam

Please provide me with all information you hold on the wind turbine recently installed at your school. I would also like to draw
your attention to the fact this wind turbine is
non-compliant to HSE separation safety guidelines.

For child safety, I would recommend a security fence is installed to prevent the
children’s access to the wind turbine to say at least 100 metres. It would be safer and more
cost-effective to remove the wind turbine completely owing to the imminent dangers
to the children and teachers.

With thanks

Yours sincerely
