PRESS RELEASE 26th JULY 2007

We have now learnt that there will be an extraordinary general meeting held at the Jubilee Hall on Friday the 27th of July at 7:30.  We understand that the current Chairman is standing down and a new Chairman will be elected at the meeting. 

We feel that the Parish Council has not adequately represented a large proportion of the parishioners as regards the proposed wind factory development.  To the best of our knowledge they have known about this proposal for at least 2 years and STILL refuse to discuss the matter at recent meetings and have hid behind “procedures” to dismiss the subject.  They have also refused to meet with members of your local action group (ie FLAT) and seem to be treating us with contempt.

It would seem likely that the new Chairman will be one of the original Parish Councillor’s and  based on the Parish Council’s previous track record they may well yet again fail to grasp the strong feelings of the local parishioners. 

It would therefore be desirable to show them exactly how the local community feels by turning up in numbers for the meeting, although we may not be able to voice our opinion regarding the wind factory because they have managed to keep it off the agenda yet again!!!!!  However just your presence will not go unnoticed by them!!

The FLAT Committee
