Poll was hardly scientific or fair!

SIR

I would like to object most strongly to the headline in last week's Piper ( April 10) that there is a "solid majority" of support for the proposed windfarm.
I think this is totally misleading quote from what Ray King correctly calls a "casual and unscientific doorstop survey".

As an example of their un-professionalism, Atmos Consulting know that the Milton of Cushnie/Leochel Cushnie area residents are
strongly against the proposal. That probably explains why they saw me return to my house by car just after they had gone on to the house next door, and failed to return to speak to me, despite the fact they were merely feet away from me. I didn't know who they were so did not approach them.

They later drove past my house again and must have seen my car parked close to the road and me in the garden...but still they did not approach me, probably because they knew the answer would be a resounding NO THANK YOU!

So yes, the poll was hardly scientific, or fair, and I challenge that it was representative at all. They were bound to be biased in favour of their own development!

Everybody involved in the local communities knows exactly why this development is not ethically, environmentally or financially sound and the developers themselves are now desperately clutching at straws; luckily the planners are in possession of the full facts and this whole farce will be thrown out on its ear very soon!

More information on the truth behind this appalling manipulation of local feeling can be found at http://stopturbinesonpressendye.com/

The real truth is that the developers are NOT fooling us!
Yours etc.,
