L.C.C. consult the people..sort of ?

Lincolnshire County Council have decided to go to the people and ask about wind farms. They could have commissioned an outside company to do the survey which would have given the result some credibility, but have instead opted to do it themselves presumably in the belief that only the residents that are anti-wind will take the time to protest.

Not sure how long this has been live but they want replies by 17th January 2013.
