How does it affect me? SSE's most favoured site for the substation is close to homes and businesses. The most favoured pylon routes cut through crofts and bypass homes. The visual amenity of our well visited village will be blighted. Tourism is a very important part of the local economy.
I'm worried. What can I do about this? Sign our petition and pass on links to it to any interested parties you know. You can also contact SSE [email protected] to make your views known. For more information contact CALL (Community Action Lairg to Loch Buidhe) at [email protected] or join us on Facebook.

This is a major development affecting our homes, businesses and the visual amenity of our village and we strongly believe that we have the right to have our views acted on by SSE.

The feedback from local residents continues to provide vital insight into how this project threatens our landscape and livelihoods. We are currently compiling these concerns to ensure they are presented clearly during our upcoming discussions with energy representatives.

The momentum behind this effort has grown significantly in recent weeks. This collective response confirms that the community remains united in its opposition to the proposed infrastructure project.

living right next door to a sub station I know how annoying it can be with the constant humming. please site these things as far away from peoples homes as possible!!
This development is with out a doubt is disregarding the people's rights in this small peaceful village to continue to live their lives peacefully and to have a livelihood through tourism. Should it ever be allowed to go ahead...what's good or honourable about that decision...alternatives need to be sought which don't destroy peoples' lives.
I understand that we do need a high voltage line but does it have to be so close to a residential and business area in what is also a stunning part of the county of Sutherland?
The sub-station really would be better outwith the viiagee, where there are fewer, if any people. Please consider going underground for at least part of the route.
The local economy is ( at best ) fragile , there is nothing in this proposal to help an already ailing economy and village .
Put them as much as possible underground. Don't spoil our country side.
