Say NO to Pylons in our area
As we are not the only parish to
be affected by the plans to install pylons in our area we are looking to possibly join
with Dunscore and Auldgirth to protest against
this plan.
A local resident recently went
walking at Beattock and noted that the electric lines are buried there. As our
area is scenically beautiful we do not want these pylons spoiling this valley. If
they must be here they should be underground. But do we want them here at all?
Not only will the value of properties depreciate here, there is also a risk to the many migrating birds, and to
the health of those living near to these monstrosities. We have one of the
largest , (if not largest) colonies of herons in Scotland. These graceful birds
would suffer greatly from such disruption.
Pylons are known to be the cause of tumours in humans.
We would like to garner support from as many people as possible to stop this ravaging
of our beautiful countryside.
Tonight there will be a meeting
at The Flying Pig in Dunscore at 7.30 pm where Alan Jones will be giving a talk
about how to protest against this proposal.
Alan will also be at Auldgirth CC
meeting on Wed 15th at 7.30 pm
Please help stop this happening
to our area for the benefit of this, and future generations.
