Local people know the local area the best
In all communities, it is the local people who know the area best. It is you, the people who live here that know the strengths, weaknesses, desires and aspirations of the area. As an area with a community that has proven its ability to identify opportunities and to develop successful initiatives, we believe that the community benefit fund associated with this project could deliver very significant benefits for the local area.
The fundamental principal of any community benefit package that we roll-out is that we seek to work with local people to deliver increased environmental, economic, and social sustainability to local communities.
We would be very interested in hearing what ideas you have on how this wind farm could deliver the most benefit to you and your local area.
