It may be a embarrassing question to ask City of York Council, but after months of the wind turbine installed at the council’s Hazel Court depot at great expense not actually turning and making any electricity to help run the headquarters, now the blades and generator sections have been removed, with no explanation.
Was this someone’s bright idea that just turned into a very expensive lemon?
Bob Waite, Holgate, York.
• Sally Burns, director of Neighbourhood Services at City of York Council, said: “The wind turbine has been removed for refurbishment work, which will be carried out under the manufacturer’s warranty programme.”
