Please see the invitation below from Denholm village – Oct 12th 6-8pm (2017) in the small village hall
Dear all
There are so many different wind farms being targeted at this area “Carpet Bombing”, it is becoming very confusing as to what actually is the state of play with the multitude of applications.
The Denholm Drop In
Denholm CC has grasped the nettle and is doing a drop in session so local residents can get an idea of what is going on. It is not envisaged to have the developers themselves in attendance.. (“my one is better than your one “) . Instead we should have basic information on the various developments and where they all fit in (or not ), and what stage they are in the planning process .. and how one can participate. We hope to answer your questions (or some of them) with some of the plans and Maps. This is not just for Denholm residents and should be of interest to a wider audience
