I would tend to agree. Anyone in support should visit the Strathy South objections page at
www.caithnesswindfarms.co.uk - don't worry about not meeting the submission date - they are still taking correspondance and it will all count.
I think the totally unnecessary Strathy/melvich road upgrade could play a big part in that.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
