Tow Law Wind Farm

Tow Law is a town and civil parish in County Durham, England.Since December 2001 the town has had a 2.3 MW wind farm consisting of three 50 m (160 ft) high wind power turbines. During the 2001 foot and mouth crisis, MAFF buried diseased animals at the former Inkerman Pit site. This was an emotive issue for local residents, who were disturbed by vehicle movements and smells from the pit.[2] Many protesters attended the site every day for six months but had no effect and Defra continued to keep the site operational until the spring of 2002.
