Democracy in action: wind turbine will (hopefully) be built on Hackney Marshes

A few months ago, I voted 'yes' on the proposal to build a wind turbine on Hackney Marshes. I didn't hold out much hope of it eventually going ahead, but I did what I could and placed my vote.

And it turns out that 87% of the people who voted agreed with me!

It will now be built (if it gets planning permission), and should be providing the power for Hackney's street lighting and council offices for about 25 years.

 

I ♥ Hackney.
