Thank you to Brora Community Council for standing up for what is right and making your voice count. Thank you for making it very clear to SSEN, Ofgem, The Highland Council and government ministers that despite SSEN reporting that they had engaged with the people, listened to community concerns, and addressed them. They absolutely did not and have not. A letter from Brora Community Council leaves SSEN in no doubt that they should think again.

Listening is only part of effective communication. Cats listen. They can look directly at you, tilt their heads and listen to what you are saying, but what do they do with the information they are receiving? As many cat owners will tell you, invariably nothing. They have their own agendas and once you finish speaking to them they’ll go ahead and do what they were planning to do anyway, regardless.
Our beloved Highlands, our communities and many of our friends and neighbours are being subjected to an onslaught of energy industry infrastructure, applications and developments. These do not appear to have the same genuine respect for our environment or ourselves as we do. Increasingly, it feels as if we are not being treated in a way that would be considered respectful, just, acceptable, or appropriate. The agendas playing out are often ambiguous and at times misleading.
