Following a meeting with the Save Straiton for Scotland group who are campaigning against proposed windfarms in the area, local MP Sandra Osborne said:
‘I had the good fortune to meet with the group locally on a beautiful day which only served to highlight the damage that could potentially be done to this stunning scenery should these windfarms go ahead. I am disgusted at the way local people have been confronted with multiple proposed schemes, many only finding out by chance. It is no wonder there has been a strong local reaction against them. Whilst windfarms have their place as part of a balanced energy policy we are already seeing an over accumulation of windfarms in other parts of Carrick.
I am impressed that the group is approaching this in a reasonable manner despite their well justified fears on the impact to the countryside, rural dwellings and tourism which are vitally important in the Straiton area. I am fully supportive of their campaign.’
