SOLAR FARM Comsol submitted documents after the close of consultation, we feel they do not allow democratic right of comment, however the council accepted them. Here is our response: cumbrae.org/assets/files/2…

A Saturday sail to explore the Isle of Cumbrae today - a short distance away but feels like a different world. #LoveNorthAyrshire

You all say stand up for wildlife and protect the last wetlands we have. Please help save #millport @BBCNews @DavidALifeFilm @AttenboroughLyf @WWF @Natures_Voice @WildlifeTrusts @TheScotsman @ScotWildlife @heraldscotland @guardian @thetimes

A small unspoilt Scottish island is under threat. The site supports 20 endangered birds (applicant notes just 1). A cynical industrial-scale solar farm for developer profit youtube.com/watch?v=Re24oN… #cumbrae #millport

If you love #Cumbrae and #Millport please comment to @North_Ayrshire on a planning application which will forever damage the island youtube.com/watch?v=Re24oN…

Fullly appreciate all three candidates are very busy addressing many concerns but rather disappointing that absolutely no response from any of their teams. @HumzaYousaf @AshReganSNP @_KateForbes. A very bad proposal for a huge solar panel farm on a very small island.Please reply

Thank you @TheScotsman @Ilonaamos for a great piece about #cumbrae today.

Please could @HumzaYousaf @AshReganSNP @_KateForbes standing to be FM watch this video and explain why no impact assessment? Do you support islanders concerns? Solar panels - yes - but not to enrich landowners with no benefit to islanders. Please respond.

Thank you to the over 100 people who made the protest yesterday. Pics and media links on our website. Please share with people who ❤️ #cumbrae youtu.be/rP34np4US-Y
