On Sunday 13th January 2013 at 11:00 am a peaceful demonstration is planned along the sea shore at Swanage when the public will link hands. The aim is to generate publicity and make vocal the desire for the relocation of the Navitus Bay Windfarm to an area where it will be more efficient and do the least visual and environmental harm (Dogger Bank Zone for instance). It is anticipated that there will be television coverage.
Please come and swell the ranks and distribute the information to as many friends and colleagues as possible.
For more information and periodic updates see Challenge Navitus and the Purbeck Gazette.
