Group win extra time on wind farm
Residents who have objected to plans to build a wind farm in the Nottinghamshire countryside have won more time to make their case.

Newark and Sherwood District Council has moved its deadline for objections on the plans to 25 February.

The Eakring Turbine Action Group say the seven proposed 110m (363ft) high turbines will "blight" the village.

Four are planned for the former Bilsthorpe Colliery site and three are proposed for farmland near Eakring.

Residents say all seven turbines will be visible from Eakring.
