The Isleham Society exists to encourage interest in the heritage of the village and its surroundings. All fifty members at our last meeting requested that we register concern about: the scale of the project which would alter the open field agricultural nature of the landscape; serious concern about the safety of the batteries in respect of unknown fire risk; miles of security fencing interfering with the movement of wild life especially deer hares and pheasants; panels covering the site of the bomber crash in which US and RAF servicemen lost their lives; no guarantee of restoring the land to agricultural condition after the project ends; huge heavy traffic increase on narrow country roads which already get very muddy; no benefits to local area; loss of productive farming land when we should be working towards greater national food self sufficiency
