Rural communities unite against ‘reckless development’ at further renewable energy conventions
Community councils, local conservation groups and councillors from across the South of Scotland will call for a halt to renewable energy projects at two conventions next week in Lauder and Moffat (18 April and 25 April).

Residents, groups and businesses in the Scottish Borders recognise the need for renewable energy but have seen the region become a hot spot for wind farm development. They want to be better informed and have a stronger voice on the numerous wind farm schemes in the pipeline.
Borders Wind Farm Watch has been created to provide easy-to-access information and insights and to highlight key issues such as landscape and visual impact, turbine size, energy needs, noise pollution and community benefit.
