SOLAR FARM
Comsol submitted documents after the close of consultation, we feel they do not allow democratic right of comment, however the council accepted them.
Here is our response:

A Saturday sail to explore the Isle of Cumbrae today - a short distance away but feels like a different world. #LoveNorthAyrshire

[Cumbrae Community Council @CumbraeCouncil]

You all say stand up for wildlife and protect the last wetlands we have. Please help save #millport @BBCNews @DavidALifeFilm @AttenboroughLyf @WWF @Natures_Voice @WildlifeTrusts @TheScotsman @ScotWildlife @heraldscotland @guardian @thetimes

A small unspoilt Scottish island is under threat. The site supports 20 endangered birds (applicant notes just 1). A cynical industrial-scale solar farm for developer profit https://t.co/Asp9OJsWhF #cumbrae #millport

If you love #Cumbrae and #Millport please comment to @North_Ayrshire on a planning application which will forever damage the island https://t.co/Asp9OJsWhF

Fullly appreciate all three candidates are very busy addressing many concerns but rather disappointing that absolutely no response from any of their teams. @HumzaYousaf @AshReganSNP @_KateForbes. A very bad proposal for a huge solar panel farm on a very small island.Please reply

[Cumbrae Community Council @CumbraeCouncil]

Thank you @TheScotsman @Ilonaamos for a great piece about #cumbrae today.

[Carol Fox @feministfox]

Please could @HumzaYousaf @AshReganSNP @_KateForbes standing to be FM watch this video and explain why no impact assessment? Do you support islanders concerns? Solar panels - yes - but not to enrich landowners with no benefit to islanders. Please respond.

There's a lot happening on Cumbrae at the moment, from the appointment of the contractor for the flood defences to discussions about ferries.

Acclaimed local artist Dorothy Bruce will be exhibiting a selection landscape and still life paintings in the Millport Gallery from 2 - 5 June.
Known for her bold, textural landscapes and coastal scenes, Dorothy’s evocative paintings have been widely exhibited to great acclaim.
