Movie star Sam Barks has backed calls for a public vote about a windfarm in the south of the Island.
The Les Miserables and Frozen star took to Twitter after news emerged a petition was calling for a national referendum.
Those opposed to plans for wind turbines at Earystane are calling for the vote in an online petition which has almost 600 signatures.
Earlier today, Sam – who’s originally from Laxey – told her 136,000 followers “100% yes there should be a public vote!”
