Wind Farm Meeting - Community Express Real Concerns

[Mack]

A packed Machrihanish Village Hall heard the concerns of the community in relation to the proposed mega- wind farm in Machrihanish Bay.

I05 wind turbines of 137 metres in height will dominate the whole seascape and virtually obliterate the horizon. This project is far too big and far too close to land/community to be allowed.

It will destroy life as we know it in Kintyre. Concerns were expressed by Machrihanish Golf Club, Machrihanish Dunes, the caravan Park, hoteliers, owners of bbs, windsurfers, the sea bird observatory and the public in general. Visual impact and noise levels were also main concerns, along with the disruption and possible destruction of coastal wild life.
