A PROTESTER fighting the closure of a wind turbine blade factory on the Island has denied aggravated trespass and going equipped to cause criminal damage.

Appearing before Island magistrates today (Tuesday), James Daniel Beecher, 25, pleaded not guilty to scaling a fence at the Vestas factory and climbing inside a wind turbine blade and being caught with Save Vestas stickers, tape, glue and cable ties.

Mr Beecher, of Gordon Terrace, Stroud, Gloucestershire, elected crown court trial and was bailed until November 27.
