Not noticed but our DAB radio signal has gone

Do you mean mobile phone or cordless home phone?

As for gearbox failure, they expect to change one in the 25 year life of the 12 which is less than a 10% failure rate.

Web will see how many times respairs are needed, but of course we will only know what the companies tell us - can we rely upon them to be totally honest?

I would much prefer the nuclear option - providing we don't have them built by the companies that did 5 Mile Island or Chernobyl the safety record is very good. Yes there is a long term problem with the disposal/storage of nuclear waste but that can be safely resolved - and they would not have any influence on wind patterns and therefore changes to weather patterns - might even bring back sunny summertime.

I have no real problem with either wind farms or nukpeculiar, I have got a problem with getting my head around how much damage wind farms could do to such a strong force as our atmosphere, compared to foolishly disposing of spent nuclear fuel.

I don't mind the wind farm being so close to my house but I would not want a nuclear power plant that close. Would you?

As for repairs the big give away will be seeing them build the big crane in site to remove the gearbox and replace with a new one.

Make sure your all sitting down, I don't want this exciting news to finish off the old folk.

Now if I lived in Baxenden I would regard this as a credible excuse to give the licence fee cowboy callers after I had cancelled my TV licence direct debit.

Not everyone is suffering bad reception in Baxenden, my mum doesn't but my sister in law does, they are about 400 yd apart as the crow flies

Unless you live 50 yards from the wind mill I don't see how they could cause your cordless phone a problem.

TV's...phones..kettles. All knackered because of these windmills. Even the weather is up the spout. Who else has noticed that since these windfarms started to appear the climate has gone berserk? We don't have proper winters and summers anymore..nowt but droughts followed by floods. Pathetic. Get rid of 'em. Bring back proper coal, gas and nuclear power stations. It's the only way.
