Wind turbines are safe despite two of them collapsing in the South West in the space of a week, a representative of the industry has insisted.
The first turbine fell at Bradworthy in Devon last Sunday and the second near Launceston in Cornwall on Wednesday.

Renewable UK, which represents the industry, said that was "premature".
'Terrible accident' fear
Robert Norris from Renewable UK said: "Incidents like this are rare. But it's important to learn from them and implement any lessons fully and promptly.
