Wind farm near Margam Park 'will ruin our lives'

RESIDENTS fear plans for a wind farm near Margam Park could ruin their lives and the area's natural beauty.

An energy company is preparing to put forward proposals for five wind turbines at Mynydd Brombil, overlooking Port Talbot.

Each turbine would have a maximum tip height of 126.5 metres.

The prospect has left residents of the village of Brombil angry and concerned.

One of them, Caroline Jones, said: "It is a very small village and an historical one.

"These turbines will be 412ft high. It's mining territory and the foundations for the turbines are so deep it could cause a landslide.

"I can speak on behalf of everyone here when I say — no way."
