No! there are a few factors why we think the wind farms will scupper our plans.
1.The accessibility due to the trails being closed, when the turbines are being serviced.
2. The affect the turbines would have on number of outdoor recreational tourists.
3.It would restrict our scope of where we want to design the best trails.
4.Our landscape has been decimated by opencast mining, of which 45% of coal in the UK comes from.
5.The Cumulative impact of opencast mining and a S36 wind farm, would have detrimental affects on the Glen Afton Centre Project. We don’t need another Whitelee. We want to create a place where ‘Burns’ would be proud of. Not many people know that it was ‘The Bards’ initial idea to develop mountain biking in Glen Afton, where else could the poem ‘Flow Gently Sweet Afton’ originate from.
