At the meeting with the Welsh Government's petitions sub-committee on February 28th in Carmarthen, a number of Gwddgrug residents provided moving evidence of their health suffering from wind farm noise. During the meeting, Ted Razzell posed a question to the committee as follows: "Given the ever increasing number of research findings from all over the world that wind farm noise causes health problems to local inhabitants, will the committee consider a)recommending that, as a matter of urgency, there should be independent research commissioned in Wales to examine this issue and b) all decisions on wind farm applications, which entail placing turbines less than 2 kilometres from local dwellings, should be put on hold until the necessary research has been completed?"
After the meeting, he provided the cleks with internet evidence about the impact of wind turbine noise on public health from all over the world, including at a later stage, an article from the British Medical Journal backing the call for a moratorium on wind farm development until independent research on this issue had been carried out. Ted received a guarantee from both the chairman and the clerks that all the details from the meeting would be put to the full committee on Tuesday, May 1st.
