Dear Sir/Madam, I am in favour of wind power but not when the process here in Suffolk has been badly thought through. I support Friston Parish Council's objections. I live 500 metres away from the proposed Scottish Power substation site. This substaion will; - destroy rural life and in particular that of the elderly. - destroy wildlife for ever, - wreck not only the well being of the life in Friston but that of several other surrounding villages. Are we mad? Think again. I am quite happy to be interviewed, - wreck remote pristine rural countryside. All this when it is not necessary. There is a perfectly good site, to which nobody will object - and that is; leaving Leiston towards Sizewell, going just beyond the railway crossing on the right is a good sized field that is hardly used and has several shabby agricultural buildings. The only problem with this site is that it is just within an Area of Outsatanding National Beauty BUT it isn't beautiful AT ALL in fact it is ugly whereas the chosen Friston site IS beautiful. Yours faithfully, Jonathan Franklin
