Our Concerns
The Regional Park is a spectacular green breathing space and a wonderful amenity for the residents in the west central belt of Scotland, UK visitors and international visitors to Scotland. Each year, in excess of 1 million visitors are recorded to the main visitor centres in the park and that doesn’t include the thousands of people that go walking and picnicking in other parts of the park.
Why do so many people come to Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park?
You can visit any part of it to discover the reason; it is very obvious, it’s right in your face. People enjoy the breathtaking and spectacular scenery and wildlife within the park.
We are concerned that this magnificent 108 square mile park, one of only 3 Regional Parks in Scotland, could end up as one great big windfarm. Already in 2007 there are proposals for windfarms in approximately 30% of the area. We already have one windfarm in CMRP near Dalry and that is one too many.
The Park area is predominately peat and blanket bog (supposedly protected by the Kyoto agreement) covering the geographical area of the Renfrew Heights roughly from Greenock in the north to Ardrossan in the south, Largs in the west and Lochwinnoch in the east.
Help to stop any more, become a member of Ladymoor Wind Factory Action Group now and together we can work to safeguard this magnificent area for future generations.
