Still no replies to the tens of letters sent to REN, Cavalum, Tavira council and the Department of the Economy, so I guess we need to follow-up and make more noise.
However some progress with the press campaign. There was another high profile article in The Algarve Resident last week http://www.algarveresident.com/story.asp?XID=31260 and a follow-up letter and additional wind-farm briefing has been sent to the journalist involved. The same issue also contained an excellent letter from the couple who spearheaded the campaign to stop the erection of a communications tower next to houses in Carvoiero. Like us, they can't understand the behaviour of local politicians.
Contact details are being collected for Portuguese media (TV, radio and newspapers) and a covering letter and briefing material has been translated in preparation.
Briefing material has also been provided to UK-based journalists working for national publications.

Welcome
Welcome to the MATA Residents Committee notice board.

We are fighting against two large infrastructure projects:
A HIGH TENSION POWER LINE and a WIND TURBINE FARM
MATA is short for Malhada do Judeu, Água de Tabuas and Aporfiosa, 3 small hamlets 8km north of Santa Catarina de Fonte do Bispo, in Tavira District in the Eastern Algarve.
This area is one of Portugal’s most idyllic rural retreats, yet it is threatened by two massive, uncoordinated electricity infrastructure projects. Thus far, the legitimate concerns of local residents have been ignored by both government officials and the corporations that will profit from these endeavours.
