The public is being invited to attend a series of informal drop-in sessions to talk to the Navitus Bay team about its controversial proposals for an offshore wind park off the Dorset and Hampshire coast and to the west of the Isle of Wight.

The three-hour drop-in sessions will be held in eight different locations across the region and will give local communities an opportunity to learn more about the development, which, if granted planning permission, could generate enough electricity to power up to 790,000 homes each year.

These informal events follow a series of public exhibitions in February and come as Navitus Bay prepares for the next round of community consultation in September.
