July has come and gone, and despite REN’s assurances, as well as those of the Ministry of the Environment (see our entry of May 26), there has been NO notification about a public consultation. Also, our more recent letters to REN have not been answered.
New information has emerged which reinforces our suspicions that REN’s plans were never open to debate. We have recently learned that a new tarmac road will be built to link two remote villages currently connected by a dirt track, which has always been sufficient for these small communities. The road will parallel the new high tension cable system, enabling easy access for the building and maintenance of the pylons and wires. The cost to taxpayers will be one and a half million Euros!
Sadly, it seems that the efforts of those who are fighting to keep this area free of landscape blight may be overcome by a web of political and corporate greed.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions to help our cause. Email us at matanews@gmail.com
