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.
