A COMMUNITY drop-in session to keep Whitworth residents informed about the construction of 11 wind turbines near Littleborough is to be held.

A spokesman for developers Coronation Power said work has now started on site, with the construction compound already completed and work progressing well on laying out the access tracks and crane pads.

Construction of the turbine foundations is due to begin in late September, with the turbines being delivered in April next year.

The event will be held at The Riverside, in Market Street, on Tuesday, from 3pm to 7pm.
