Newsletter 2018

The newsletter was sent to over 1700 households around the Shepherds' Rig and Stroanshalloch projects in August 2018 to update residents on the projects proposed and invite residents to attend a second round of Community Open Days.

Scoping Reports

Revised Scoping Reports for the two wind farm sites have now been submitted to Dumfries and Galloway Council (Stroanshalloch) and the Scottish Government (Shepherds' Rig). To view the Scoping Reports, please click the links below:
