Last day to voice your opinion about the Brontë country windfarm

The Telegraph and Argus reminds readers that today is the last day to have their say about thecontroversial giant windfarm proposed for Brontë coutnry.

Keighley and Ilkley’s MP, Conservative Robbie Moore, has reminded people on his social media pages that the deadline for people to submit their views is fast approaching.

Mr Moore, who opposes the plans, said he has formally submitted his own response.

He reminds people they have until  until 23.59pm tomorrow, Wednesday, June 10, 2026 to submit their response to the statutory consultation.

Mr Moore says people can submit their objection by emailing your response to info@calderdaleenergypark.co.uk, or submit via post to Freepost, Calderdale Energy Park – for postal submissions, they will allow a seven‑day grace period after the consultation closes.

The link to the consultation can be found at https://www.calderdaleenergypark.co.uk/have-your-say/

Mr Moore said: “This proposal harms our environment, our ecology, our wildlife and bird population.

“It harms our precious peatland, our peat bogs and its carbon storage potential.

“It harms our heritage, our landscape, and our communities and neighbours.

“The development must be stopped and I urge all to object to the scheme.”

Mr Moore has been pressurising fellow MPs whose constituencies might be affected to come out against the proposals.

Calder Valley MP, Labour’s Josh Fenton-Glynn, in whose constituency the site would be, has also now come out in opposition to the plans.

On his social media pages, Mr Fenton-Glynn said: “I continue to have concerns about the impact of the Calderdale energy park on peat.

“I believe in net zero but I don’t think we get there by damaging carbon stores.

“Peatland is our Amazon rainforest and we should follow the science and protect it.

“That is why I have stated my opposition in response to the consultation.” (John Greenwood)
