Tuesday, noon - ANTI-wind farm protestors will launch a blimp over Sempringham Fen close to the site of a proposal for a six-turbine wind farm near Billingborough and Pointon.
Members of AGAST will fly the huge blimp at around 395ft, which is the height of the turbines planned by ScottishPower Renewables, on Saturday and Sunday.


They have borrowed the blimp from fellow campaign group BLOT, which is fighting plans for at least two wind farms in the Vale of Belvoir, near Grantham.


Debbie Wren, chairman of AGAST - Action Group Against Sempringham Turbines - said: "This is as close as we can get to illustrating the realities of what we are facing."


The blimp will be launched from land close to the site on Saturday morning and will fly until Sunday evening, weather permitting.
