- Further clarification for criteria required for ‘Social Housing’
- How are Housing Associations selected for the development?
- No information on the environmental impact.
- Good meeting re-affirming a substantial majority against the proposed housing.
- Thin end of the wedge – 10 houses initially, then what? Not convinced of sincerity of NP to take into consideration feelings of the majority present.
- Disappointed that the elected National Park Councillor does not feel he has to support the overwhelming view of the meeting.
- Very pleased with the way the meeting was conducted.
- Majority at meeting voted NO to new houses in Ardentinny.
- I think there were some questions that revealed a lack of democracy and real consultation and concern for local communities and their sustainability and health.
