Please attend the Council Chambers, Town House, Haddington for 10 am on Tuesday 7th May to support our community wind turbine planning application. The planning committee will decide on our application at 10 am and your presence will show how the community feel. 
If planning consent is granted, we will pursue the option of raising part of the projects costs (c£1.7 million) locally through the creation of an investment opportunity for local people.
The investment proposal would offer returns of around 5% and provide people with a secure and ethical investment opportunity in these times of increasing financial insecurity. Such a model would mean cheaper finance for the project than if it is raised through a bank. It would therefore mean the generation of greater profits for other community projects, currently £200,000 per year.
