Letters / You cooldna mak it up
I find it quite astonishing that the Shetland Charitable Trust trustees appear surprised at Viking Energy’s chair Bill Manson’s one fingered salute to the decent people of Shetland who have raised concerns regarding the value of their property within the wind farm area.
Trustee Theo Smith wanted to know if any advice had been sought from the local experts including local valuation surveyors who would know the properties and areas within and near the affected site.
Perhaps trustee Smith is unaware that one of Shetland’s main surveyor/valuer, Michael Thomson, is also a VE shareholder – an unbiased opinion?
My God, you cooldna mak it up.
