MURIESTON PUBLIC MEETING

7PM, Thursday 12th January, 2012

Williamston Primary School, Bankton Lane, Murieston

Representatives from Fauch Hill Wind Farm will be coming to give a presentation about the proposed wind farm and how it will affect Murieston.

“Chris Norman (senior planner) has confirmed that there are 4 wind farm applications coming forward in January, within West Calder and East Calder Wards. He emphasised that the Pentlands are scenically sensitive and no doubt that issue will be highlighted when these applications are presented. He commented that there may be some visual impact on Murieston residents”.

There are other questions to be raised by Murieston residents:

  • which residents are likely to be affected?
  • will there be any noise issues?
  • what will the environmental impact be?
  • will there be any visual impact, including pylons from wind farm?
  • will there be any jobs created for West Lothian residents?
  • is there any compensation funds available for Murieston to use on environmental projects?
  • any other questions that you would like to ask.

This meeting is NOT about objecting or agreeing to the plans, but to find out more. This application should not be accepted by the residents of Murieston without them knowing EXACTLY what they are accepting. Please don’t think that someone else will protect Murieston, we are only strong as a community.
