No pylons! Don't ruin the glen.

SSEN (Scottish & Southern Electricity Network) are planning an act of lazy and wilful vandalism on a rare and outstandingly beautiful glen on the Scotland west coast. Watch the video, sign the petition here: http://dontruintheglen.co.uk/

SSEN want to put a line of massive pylons along the remote, unspoilt Glen Arroch. There is an existing, alternative route, but SSEN are being lazy. http://dontruintheglen.co.uk/

They tried to sneak the plans through during lockdown when public meetings and consultation were restricted. That got stalled but they are still trying... What they want to do is easier for them and harmful for just about everything and everyone else.

Glen Arroch is home to otters, eagles, people. It contains one of the most beautiful mountain passes in Scotland. SSEN want to vandalise it in the name of lazy profit. It bears repeating: you can watch the video, and sign the petition at http://dontruintheglen.co.uk/
