Another wind turbine planned for Slough

lock your doors, an application is in for another baby-eating wind-turbine in Slough!

Well, almost - there's an application on the Slough Council planning website

INSTALLATION OF A 40M GUYED WIND MONITORING MAST WHICH WILL BE REQUIRED TO MONITOR SITE CONDITIONS FOR A PERIOD OF 3-12 MONTHS 
The average wind-speed at this site, just north of Wexham Hospital, is about 6.4 m/s, which on a 3MW turbine means about 5GWh p/year. I don't know who is putting this application in, but at least they seem to be more serious and prepared than the last lot in Cippenham
Speaking with some of the councillors on the planning committee since the fiasco of the last hearing, there still isn't a policy on renewable energy in Slough, but they suggested that I raise this with the Scrutiny committee

maybe
