Cllr Crawford, who represents the Aird and Loch Ness ward, called on attendees to take confidence in the strength of the collective voice. “We have used our best endeavours to ensure that our statement has been spoken to by a number of community councils,” she told the room. “This is something we have from today that we can say to our elected members, our MSPs, our MPs: take that to Scottish Government, take that to the UK Government, and crack on.”
00:00It might not be perfect, I am sure you all respectively have something else you would love to add to that, but that's what we've got and I'm going to put that to a show of hands vote.
00:22If you want this to proceed and go forward and you are for this statement, please raise your hand.
00:30I think we have a fairly unanimous show of hands here.
00:47I have no doubt there will be and there were, there were many other valid points, for example battery storage, the regulations, the legislation, the whole assessment of that and so on.
01:09We can strengthen this as we go on. We can add to it, you know, that this is something that we have from today that we can say to our elected members, our MSPs, our MSPs, take that to Scottish Government, take that to the UK Government and crack on.
