A campaign group is urging the Scottish Government to make a speedy determination on a controversial overhead pylon line through the heart of the Stewartry
Galloway Without Pylons led opposition to SP Energy Networks’ Kendoon-Tongland Reinforcement (KTR) project at a protracted public inquiry at Kirkcubright and Castle Douglas held over 2022 and 2023.
Reporter Katrina Rice took evidence from all interested parties for more than a year in order to inform her findings.
Her final report was submitted to Scottish Ministers on February 7 – but as yet no decision has been announced.
Now GWP coordinator Paul Swift is calling for a swift conclusion to a saga which has taken years to reach the finish line.
He told the News: “The ministers have had the report for some time.
“We are hoping for a quick resolution – and I would think SPEN do as well.
The public inquiry process ran into controversy last July when the Scottish Government vetoed publication of SP Energy Networks’ closing submission because, it stated, some comments “may be liable to cause offence”.
SP Energy Networks responded that its closing submissions “fully reflect its understanding of the events at inquiry.” https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/campaigners-call-decision-controversial-dumfries-32653567?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0lURIHqDFrap_usC20hz8cZsH9ka2HrvSV9yja1DPb2j2erjTo-eUQbSo_aem_AenHRqduMXhwZJygT8OQQwgA4yBfuE6p4sQhojMP9nfdikoQl4Ac8UN6M2ZwwHcS3LQ8FS1X40vYG-fYWcaSEwLv
