The Community Council recently undertook a door to door survey of the village in respect of the Dawnfresh Fish Farm proposals.
This survey consisted of one simple question are you for, against or neither of these regarding the project.
Every person eligible to vote and resided within the community council area was asked to vote
The outcome of the survey gives the community council the direction within which most of the village want to drive the dawn fresh fish farm project.
The survey itself was not associated with the AFF The Clyde or any other groups associated with this project.
The results for the survey can be seen below:
Total people eligible to vote in the Ardentinny CC area is 152 as at 16th May 2019
Total votes counted via door to door survey is 137 only 14 houses within the village had no one in at the time of the survey, some of these were holiday lets and some people just away at the time of the survey, every house where no one was in was visited a minimum of 2 times, these houses and votes were not counted in any way.
This equates to a 90.13% response rate from the whole village
Votes For – 17 or 12.41%
Votes Against – 101 or 73.72%
Neither for or against – 19 or 13.87%
Given the results noted above it is clear that the majority of the Community (73.72%) do not want the project to go ahead, The community council will now formally work with the AFF the Clyde Group and come up with an action plan to fight the proposal.
The first action will be to write strong letter of opposition To SEPA regarding the Dawn Fresh CAR Licence application
It is hoped that others including the AFF the Clyde group will also write letters opposing this, the letter will be displayed on the notice board, website and formally sent out to everyone on the mailing list as an update
There now is an email address which can be used for two-way contact between residents and the Community Council.
