SIR – I couldn't be more pleased if I tried. Windfarms being torn down in my beloved Yorkshire.

Well done to the Parishioners Against The Chelker Turbines campaign group, not only for successfully fighting to get rid of the four turbines at Chelker Reservoir (pictured above), but for opposing two even bigger replacements.

I have always opposed wind turbines, which not only desecrate our beautiful land and seascapes but are inefficient and their immoral subsidies add to our ever-rising energy bills.

Good riddance to the Chelker four and may they be just the first of many to be torn down.

Godfrey Bloom, MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire
