▪️ We all fully support Green Energy and Net Zero targets.
▪️ However, the significant cost to East Lothian communities and people needs to be challenged.
▪️ East Lothian Winds of Change was started by a small group of people who picked up that a huge amount of large electrical infrastructure projects costing billions either had, or are going to land, in East Lothian very soon. All of these causing extraordinary disruption and little benefit to East Lothian for the next 10+ years.
▪️ We also realised that few local people knew the enormity of what is proposed as these projects are all currently treated as stand alone projects in our current East Lothian Council and Scottish Government complex planning processes and legislation.
▪️ Combined these current projects are bigger than anything East Lothian has ever seen or dealt with before. We set out to find out as much information as we could to share with local communities. It is eye watering. What is also eye watering is the total lack of joined up thinking and working together from the developers, council and government. We are raising awareness and our numbers are growing.
▪️ We have become aware that there will be many more projects earmarked for East Lothian than are currently disclosed. We are looking at the Industrialisation of East Lothian.
▪️ To make changes required to safeguard our communities, daily lives and future will take people power - East Lothian People Power!!
