‘Breathtaking arrogance’

On Wednesday (17 July) when I returned from work I discovered a person had been on my property for some time apparently surveying.

When I asked the individual who he was employed by he said he was doing an ecological survey for the new road Viking Energy are proposing to construct from Sandwater to Kergord.

Despite John Robertson’s (community liaison officer – Viking Energy’s new PR person) assurances of openness, it would appear that the breathtaking arrogance as displayed in the past by VE continues unchanged.

To allow a surveyor to enter someone’s land without first obtaining permission is, in my opinion, symptomatic of the entire toxic project.

From the very start this wind farm has been driven forward with no regard for the individuals or communities that will be the most affected.
