Concerns over proposed windfarm

At the recent meeting of the Community Council in Oldhamstocks eleven members of the public attended. Many were from Oldhamstocks and neighbouring areas and were very concerned about the expected impact of a proposed new wind farm just over the county boundary at Hoprigshiels.
Community Council chairman, Chris Bruce, had arranged a limited opinion survey of local people, by email, but the results from this fairly small sample were rather inconclusive.
A number of local residents agreed to assist in holding a much more comprehensive local survey, and we’ll report the results of this in due course in a future edition of our newsletter and on this web site.
