Dear All,

Aileen Jackson on behalf of Scotland Against Spin has asked for signatures to petition the Scottish Parliament for increased abilities of communities to influence planning decisions regarding onshore wind farms.

Generally there is almost no support for these industrial sized windfarms by genuine communities who actually live on the footprint of the proposed sites, other than the few who believe they may financially benefit from them.

You can sign here if you like.

Picture. Skelfhill Pen in the Teviothead Volcanic Complex, proposed to be directly flanked and dwarfed by  by Muirhalls 62 turbine proposal, each up to 240M tall. Here in 1546 John Deans fought to the death defending his neighbours  goods and cattle in a skirmish with Liddesdale or South Teviotdale Raiders... and today an enjoyable and Iconic walk.

Objections are still open to this application which can be made to,

mark.ashton@gov.scot  with ref ECU00003249 Teviot Wind Farm.

Best wishes, Ken
