Following the well attended meeting in the Queens Hall on Friday 13th, Michael Russell MSP has expressed his objection to the Bachan Burn wind farm with a strongly worded open letter to Martin Billhardt, Chairman of the Executive Board at PNE Wind.

“I am taking the unusual step of writing an open letter to you because it has become obvious that there is a ‘very strong concern in Dunoon and Cowal regarding your proposals and a clear view – expressed unanimously at the well attended meeting – that the best thing that could happen would be for you to decide not to take the proposal to the formal planning stage.”
