Chamber and committees

Blairingone

  • Submitted by: Alexander Stewart, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 28 November 2017
  • Motion reference: S5M-09224

That the Parliament notes that the village of Blairingone has faced many problems as a result of sludge spreading and other issues at the reclaimed open cast coal workings at Lambhill; understands that, although a condition on agricultural use was added retrospectively, this has been repeatedly breached; notes that, over the last three years, residents have been subjected to significant levels of noise; understands that, in 2003, public petition PE327 greatly contributed to the introduction of waste management licensing regulations; is concerned however that that a new application for class 6 storage and distribution could lead to an extra 100 44-tonne HGVs going through the tiny village each day, and recognises the effect that this could have on the small rural community.
