Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Bridlington could become the first seaside resort in Britain to run its beach-side streetlights by wind power. The council at the Humberside town is considering installing seven wind turbines on the seafront at its southern end, where a pounds 3.5m refurbishment scheme is under way.

The scheme's designers believe the mini-turbines will be a unique attraction as well as providing power to run the lighting on the new promenade. Officials at East Riding Council are testing local opinion by staging a three-day demonstration with one wind turbine on Belvedere Promenade, in Bridlington.

An earlier scheme, for a giant wind-turbine on the cliff top near Belvedere car park, in the town, was rejected because residents said it would be an eyesore.
