"Wind turbines devalue properties and are a terrible visual intrusion in our flat Fenland landscape. Equally, renewable energy needs to pass the twin tests of environmental and economic sustainability and wind power fails on both counts.
"I would encourage as many local people as possible to attend the meeting and hear the facts for themselves.
"After the debate at the Sutton Bridge meeting the overwhelming majority of those present gave the proposals for seven monster wind turbines at Tydd St Mary's Marsh the thumbs down.
