Community Council AGM Monday, 8th June 19:30
Category: News
The community meeting at 2.30pm on 14th June 2026 in the Glen Hall will introduce the findings of the Short-Life Working Group (SLWG) and hope to gain insight into the community’s wishes for how to approach the repowering of the Cruach Mhor windfarm and the associated opportunities.
From the beginning this has been a ground-up consultative process and is designed to ensure that everyone is included in the community’s decision.
If you cannot make the meeting or if you would like to participate in the survey but do not have a paper copy of the handout (link and below), please email your answers and comments on the repowering to the SLWG via the secretary’s email.
Over the last three years or so, the community council and development trust, with help from ABCAN have been developing a Local Place Plan for submission and inclusion in Argyll and Bute Council’s next Local Plan. The LPP is intended to capture the community’s aspirations and concerns for the next decade and will provide all the community organisations associated with ColGlen a blueprint which has statutory standing.
To read and comment on the LPP please visit http://colglencommunitycouncil.org.uk/draft-local-place-plan/
The Community Council meeting will begin as usual at 1930 and the meeting will be following the standing agenda, available here.
Please note this is the penultimate meeting of the 25/26 session, with the CC AGM scheduled for our June meeting.
Everyone is welcome!
The Colintraive and Glendaruel Development Trust, the ColGlen Community Council and the Cruach Mhor Wind Farm Trust continue to work together to examine the issues arising from the proposed re-powering of the Cruach Mhor Wind Farm.
