On Friday 15th<\/sup> March 2024 SNP MSP Emma Harper visited Blair Hill alongside two of our admins and Jack and Elaine Burton and their son Robert to discuss the concerns we all share with regards to RES current plans for the Industrial Turbine Site. They all went straight out onto the hill so everyone could get a feel for the area that would be destroyed and the sheer scale of what the turbines would be like around them.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Blair Hill, Glenvernoch and Balunton were all discussed with Emma and her team when it came to peat removal, noise, flicker and flooding. Also, how the laws of noise and turbines are no longer relevant when it comes to todays giant sized turbines given the laws were created and last looked at in 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donna Stewart from Hands Off Our Hills Explaining The Concerns Of The Proposed Blair Hill Industrial Wind Site<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Our representatives explained that there should be a suspension of all Industrial Turbine Sites and developments until up-to-date policies and research is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe this has been a very positive meeting with Emma and her team where she took on board all our concerns and went away with lots of action points and the reassurance that her inbox is always open and to please make contact if there are any concerns. Emma plans to contact RES and most probably Energiekontor for views and issues to be heard and discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny Campbell Hands Off Our Hills Co-ordinator had this to say after our meeting:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to Emma Harper MSP and her team for coming to meet us today. Seeing the land that will be destroyed, and the effect on those who will somehow have to live beside 250 metre high turbines clearly had an impact. They agreed to speak with the relevant ministers, and we look forward to hearing the outcomes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands Off Our Hills would like to take the time to also thank Jack, Elaine and Robert Burton for allowing us to come and visit alongside Emma Harper MSP and our team. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
