Peter Aldous MP (screen grab from official recording of event)

At the Norfolk and Suffolk Coast and Estuary Conference on 15th October in the Orbis Energy Centre Peter Aldous MP had some critical things to say about 'Central Government' (which is his government since 2010).

He said “...governments – whether it's wind-farms or solar farms, or dare I say it, fracking, governments impose these things on communities... but governments shouldn't work with communities, communities should lead projects.”

Port Harbour credit Michael Page

The harbour was originally built by the Lowestoft and Norwich Navigation Company and developed by the Norfolk Railway following the construction of the Norwich to Lowestoft railway.[4] The original Inner Harbour was constructed in 1831 when Lake Lothing was joined to the sea, as shown on a chart based on a survey by William Hewett of HMS Fairy dated 1834,[5] while the Outer Harbour was constructed in 1937.[4] The railway line ran along the north side of the docks and a series of docks railway sidings were used mainly for fishing and freight wagons.

Ness Point

Looking southwards, along the North Sea Wall, to Ness Point - the most easterly part of the UK mainland. The presence of the Gulliver wind-turbine and the Orbis Energy Centre building just beyond it reminds us of Lowestoft’s role in the new world of renewable supplies of electricity - though it seems ironic that the turbine itself never seems to have its blades turning sufficiently to make any notable contribution to the National Grid.

A different kind of warning light from that referred to in Beacon Stones, with safety at sea the main consideration rather than warning of attack by an enemy.
