Complaints of dizziness and nausea have been made by some Fairlie
residents, with questions being asked to whether the symptoms are linked to
the towering wind turbines at Hunterston.

Concerns were first aired at last Monday’s Fairlie Community Council
meeting as chairman Rita Holmes said that she has felt ill effects, while
the landlady at the Village Inn, Fiona Corrigan, has also suffered from
similar problems.

And community councillor John Osbourne has asked MSP Kenneth Gibson to
investigate after fears that a woman who was complaining of feeling dizzy
fell over and knocked her head off the ground, and died a day later.

An SSE spokeswoman said:”As a responsible developer and operator of
renewable energy SSE takes any concerns or complaints from members of the
communities close to our projects very seriously.

“We have been in contact with a local resident relating to the Hunterston
Offshore Wind Test Site in the last week and we are currently investigating
their concerns.

“In addition, SSE shall engage with the local planning authority in order
to ensure that our obligations are fully complied with.”
