Message from the president of the DDME
I am writing to update you on initiatives we have taken and action steps for the near future.
As you have seen from our blog, we have gathered quite a bit of information that allows us to grasp the many facets and implications of the wind farm project being proposed by EDF-Renouvelables on the right bank of the estuary of the Gironde; information related to biodiversity, health, infrastructure, the regional economy, tourism, property values and impact on our daily lives.
We
now have a clear understanding of the menace this project represents for those
who live here and for those who visit our beautiful region.
We
have spent much time contacting scientific experts, governmental and elected
officials both in France and in Europe, asking them to support us in blocking
this project.
It
is now time to raise our opposition to another, more direct level, by meeting
with other residents of the region everywhere we can: in the supermarket and
weekly produce markets, at regional special events, as well as canvassing
people door to door.
Our
elected deputies have organised a public debate/forum this coming Friday, 28 September 2018 at 8:00pm in the Kléber
Marsaud Community Centre, 27 avenue de la République, Braud et Saint-Louis.
We have been told that EDF- Renouvelables will be there. This will be a very
important moment for everyone to express their opposition to the wind farm
project.
WE
URGE YOU ALL TO COME, SPEAK UP, AND SHOW OUR STRENGTH!
Please
do not hesitate to contact us – via the DDME.fr blog – with any concrete ideas you
may have for our operational team, and how we can collectively best fight this
project.
There
will eventually be a public inquiry regarding the project. We all need to
prepare for it. The louder and more visible we are, the better chance we have
of stopping this wind farm project for good.
Let’s
be sure there are never any wind turbines in our marshlands!
Guillaume Boraud
President of the DDME, with the Operational Team of
the DDME
