I encourage constituents and businesses to make their voices heard ahead of the final Aberdeenshire Council committee vote on Thursday October 3 on the Hill of Fare development.

So far, councillors have made it clear they are opposed to the development at area committee level. But there is still one, final stage to go at Infrastructure Services and I strongly encourage everyone to voice their concerns on what will be the UK’s tallest windfarm, to highlight the strength of public opinion on this development which will tarnish our countryside in Royal Deeside.

It will send a strong message to the Scottish Government that communities across Aberdeenshire are against this scheme.
