The Maybole, North Carrick and Coylton SNP Branch has recently been in contact with us to confirm their support, and that of the wider local party, for Save Straiton for Scotland and our opposition to the proliferation of industrial wind power developments in the area. Their correspondence reads…
Our SNP Branch meeting took place in Maybole last Monday. Our Branch members were in full agreement that we objected completely to the Back Fell Wind Farm proposal near Straiton.
We continue to believe Green Energy and Net Zero are vital strategies to reduce the impact of global warming. However, we believe that in North Carrick ‘enough is enough’ describes our views about recent wind farm proposals. We will continue to object to wind farms on a case-by-case basis and especially on the grounds of cumulative effect in parts of South and East Ayrshire. We also sought support from our SNP elected representatives at local, Scottish and UK Government levels and all our local representatives support our objections.
We thank the group for letting us know and their support.
Save Straiton for Scotland 
Fantastic news! Thanks for all your hard work on behalf of the community.
The SNP objecting to windfarms ???… Did they mention Carrick, Craigenmoddie or Knockcronal windfarms. As all 3 are still in a public enquiry, if they let it know they object now, I think that would be the end of them…. But are you sure they will do what they say as they are politicians and this is an election year… ???
