Information concerning infrastructure developments affecting this community will be posted here on this site by the secretariat function which is currently carried out by Keith Boak and Toby Jarvis.
Minutes of the last meeting held on 26th February, letters to local authorities and a press briefing are in the process of being prepared and will be distributed once completed.
The next meeting is scheduled for 18:00 hrs on Tuesday, 3rd March at Yvo's house (although I'm not sure if Yvo knows this yet!). The main purpose will be to discuss the Department of the Environment's decision on the high-voltage cable route through the valley, announced since our last meeting.

I am not sure if you have all yet realised the scale of the wind farm. I have maps showing about 18 turbines all around Malhada do Judeu and on towards Alcaria Fria. These are from a different developer - connected with Macario Correia et al.I read recently that they have won the government concurso as they already had rental agreements with site owners... In 2004, I had a 'noise survey'done,in Malhada, by WS Atkins,who are the people responsible for the environmental survey for high tension lines.It seems to me to be the only conceivable way of stopping turbines - not their construction but their use. There are strict noise level laws in Portugal. I have been trying to fight this for years !
