A resident has raised concerns that a “grotty” wind turbine is “leaching oil” and polluting the surrounding environment.

One of the four electricity-generating structures at Neilston Community Windfarm has been spotted in a sorry state of disrepair with what appears to be lubricant “spewed over the nacelle, tower, and blades,” according to Aileen Jackson.

The operator of the turbines confirmed to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) that the structure is leaking grease due to a partial bearing failure, but strongly refuted that any of this has reached the ground.  https://www.barrheadnews.com/news/24471106.grotty-neilston-wind-turbine-sparks-environmental-concerns/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1SJY8dXOtPuZ9BYl7js4J4DB4dEF4sKPLnZV0PDOSCBzZqH5lKvlQsGOw_aem_GUUXifKL8BGQlQDOtqSE_w
