‘River weir could power our village’ (From Oxford Mail)
FOR a thousand years the Thames at Sandford has helped power industries such as paper and corn mills.
Now a village group wants to use the power of “the Lasher” – as Sandford Weir is known locally – to light up their homes and businesses.
An ambitious renewable energy project to install three hydro-electric turbines at the site has been drawn up that could generate enough electricity to power 340 homes.
