Burton upon Stather is a village in North Lincolnshire, England situated near the River Trent. The village lies 5 miles north of the town of Scunthorpe, and overall civil parish population, comprising of Burton-upon-Stather itself and the hamlets of Normanby and Thealby, is currently 2,737.[1] The local church, St. Andrew's, was initially built in 1160, and had a tower added in 1230.[citation needed]
Wind Turbines and controversy
It is currently being decided whether the village will have a set of wind turbines built on the banks of the River Trent. There has been a lot of controversy, including the creation of B.A.T.s (Burton Against Turbines). The final decision as whether or not the turbines are built should be announced sometime in December 2009.[citation needed]
