Local paper's response to the verdict to the wind farm at Carsington- clear NIMBY aspect to some of the quotes. This also featured on the politics show where an outdoor debate was held at Carsington on a very windy day!
Local conflict- Carsington Wind Farm, Derbyshire (on edge of Peak District) attached task sheet. The protest group's website is a fantastic resource. The appeal was turned down so the wind farm will go ahead but building has not yet begun.
I have...
I am taking the minibus (7 girls). Have you had your detailed itinerary yet for the fieldwork? I keep missing the chap I need to speak to when I ring them!
I live in Ashbourne and teach in a small department in an independent girls school, so there is just me teaching the AS/A2, so it is great to be able to bounce ideas off other people. I have taught the AQA A syllabus since 2001, so feel confident with the content that is remaining.

Hi, this is a really cheeky ask but I wondered whether you could let me have a copy of the GeoFile 590 April 2009 Urban Ecosystems? We don't subscribe as a school so it's very naughty of me... if you don't mind could you email me at school on ceh@phs.cheshire.sch.uk.
and if I can help you in the future then of course I will.
Many thanks
Catherine
Hi Marie, we are not doing ecosystems i'm afraid. We are doing World Cities, Tectonics and the Conflicts Unit. We are also going to do Unit 4B on the AEB. What about you?
That's a nice early finish! September is a much better time to go so good luck and enjoy. We've used Preston Montford for over 10 years (we were Edexcel) and they've always been excellent.
