Goring hydro-electric weir plan opposed by anglers

Anglers and councillors are opposing plans to build three hydro-electric generators on waters in Goring.

A community group wants to build at Goring Lock, on the Oxfordshire and Berkshire border, in a bid to generate renewable power for 300 homes.

But Goring Parish Council and the Angling Trust are are against the scheme, saying it will look unsightly and could be unsafe.

Goring and Streatley Community Energy has submitted a planning application.
