After testing by expert contractors, the Leicester City Council has concluded the city simply isn’t windy enough for wind turbines. Apparently the city sits in a natural depression, which doesn’t help. Sites were scoped out in Western Park, Beaumont Park, Castle Hill Park and Ashton Green – all in Beaumont Leys – as well as Humberstone Heights golf course, near Hamilton, and further land near Western Park golf course, in Braunstone Frith. But none of them had the necessary wind resource. Council leader Ross Willmott said the north of the city was a possibility.
