RES Community Liaison Group – 27/07/2024 Minutes


RES has instituted a Community Liaison Group (CLG) with the objective of establishing a platform for deliberation and the exchange of information. The primary purpose of this group is to foster an efficient channel of communication among RES, the local community, and stakeholders. Membership in the CLG will comprise locally elected representatives, community groups, and other pertinent stakeholders.

It is imperative to underscore that Hands Off Our Hills maintains NO affiliation or alignment with any of the member groups or participants associated with the RES Community Liaison Group. This initiative is perceived by us as a farcical public relations endeavour employed by RES to modify their planning application in response to community concerns and to gather additional information regarding opposition sentiments.

Consequently, it should come as no surprise that we will persist as vocal opponents of this corporate undertaking.

Glentrool Public Engagement Event 1024 768 Hands Off Our Hills

Glentrool Public Engagement Event

Glentrool Public Engagement Event – Glentrool Hive.

Hands Off Our Hills held our first Public Engagement Event on a bright and sunny afternoon on Thursday 7th March 2024 at the Glentrool Hive.

This event was very well attended by members of the public who came out all afternoon to view our notice boards filled with information with regards to how the turbines are made and how it would affect the local area.  The Public were invited to also view a video montage of various viewpoints before and after the turbines were erected.  

The consensus was general outrage there was such a planning application in the pipeline.  Lots of our questionnaires were filled out with peoples overall opinions, which we will view and create our objections from. 

Our Co-ordinator Kenny Campbell said:

‘I’d like to thank everyone who turned out to the community information event at The Hive in Glentrool yesterday/today. We’re loving having the conversations about why the three proposals are wrong. What we’re also learning and excited about is that folk are informing themselves.  Rest assured Hands Off Our Hills will be here to challenge these money grabbing power companies and their never-ending line of applications for these monstrosities for as long as necessary.’ 

Our next Public Engagement Event will be at Whithorn in the SMCC on the 21 March between 3pm and 7pm.  If you are around the area, please come along for a cuppa and say hello and voice your opinions to us. 

Community liaison group RES – 17th Jan 2024 1024 768 Hands Off Our Hills

Community liaison group RES – 17th Jan 2024

Community liaison GROUP MEETING Tomorrow – Wednesday 17th January 2024

We know how you all love a get together, particularly when it involves letting those lovely folk from RES know what you think and feel about their awful proposal for our hills.

They may have been upset about our refusal to join their “community liaison group” (CLG) and that might be the reason it slipped their mind to let the COMMUNITY know the first CLG is tomorrow. It’s fine, we forgive them for this tiny oversight.

However, though it will be dark and cold if you’d like to come along to the Macmillan Hall, tomorrow (Wednesday 17 January 2024) from 5.30pm ish there will be an opportunity to show the company, elected members and other voluntary CLG members your total rejection of these plans. Very short notice but we only found out about this a couple of hours ago.

The demonstration will be respectful but clear regarding our message, no doors will be blocked but we’ll let people know we won’t allow this devastation to happen.

Bring a flask, yer bonnet and yer voice.
