Campaigners fighting a planned new power line in the Highlands say they are losing trust in SSEN and want the Scottish Government to intervene.
The power company is proposing a new 400KV overhead line from Spittal in Caithness to Beauly and on to Peterhead.
It has stressed it is considering alternative routes and mitigation measures in areas of particular local sensitivity.
But opponents say extensive aerial surveys are being carried out on SSEN’s ‘preferred route’ and no others without informing communities.
The Strathpeffer and Contin Better Cable Route group has now questioned the company’s ability to manage the project in an open and trustworthy way.
It wants the government to step in and oversee the project. The group has launched a fighting fund to continue its campaign and a possible legal challenge against the plans. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/…/beauly-ssen-power…/
