At a well attended meeting at Flavianos bar, local residents were informed of developments to date, including the meeting with Tavira Camara and a trip to Lisbon to meet with Sra Helena Carmo of the Movimento Contra as Linhas de Alta Tensao.
Amongst subjects discusssed were again the issue of involvement of the local Portuguese community and how best to inform them of the plans and developments to date.
After discussion with some of the Portuguese present, it was concluded that as well as pressing Sr Viegas for a meeting with REN and the relevant bodies, we would approach Sr Leonardo, Presidente of the Freguesia, to arrange a meeting between himself and the local residents. This would be an opportunity to express our concerns as a group, and may help to include more of the Portuguese community.
It was also mooted that more leaflets, showing the visual effect on this area, should be printed and distributed to continue our awareness campaign.
However, it was also mentioned that if the Portuguese were reluctant to participate then the campaign would continue without them as those foreign reidents affected still stand to lose a great deal from the proposed high tension cables and wind turbines.
A collection was taken at the end of the meeting to cover some of the costs to date. Treasurer Brian Carrigan is holding the money collected and expenditure receipts to date.
The date for a meeting with Sr. Leonardo will be announced by email and on this site. It is vital that as many as possible attend, as this will be a local show of numbers of those affected.
