Year 8, and this year the community is faced with the construction of Calliachar Windfarm and the Beauly-Denny Powerline. Calliachar could now be considered as part four of Griffin Windfarm given a) its size and proximity to Griffin, b) that Griffin is itself comprised of three "Pods" (distinct groups of turbines) and c) it is now owned and operated by SSER. After three road collapses last year, major road closures, and many, many incidents of near misses and accidents. We can only hope that SSE/SSER and Perth & Kinross Council are prepared to be more reasonable and proactive in protecting the lives of our children. We can only hope becuase SSER are now refusing to engage with the local community... Traffic Resource Upgraded to Include Calliachar & Beauly-Denny Traffic This non-affiliated, joint Community Council resource now provides details of the access routes used, safety incidents & scheduled delays of all three SSE\SSER projects which use the A822 & A826. Please also note to report incidents - accurate reporting will improve safety. Please click on the title above to access the Resource And Still No News... Still nothing from the Scottish Government on community funding to help against these speculative attacks. Developments are passed on from one corporation to another as they discover that the expected return on investment is not forthcoming and will not be unless they are willing to spend considerably more than they have all been prepared to pay so far. Yet each time the same local community has to find the funds to oppose them.Please use the link above to access news & events from previous years
