The proposal was given considerable backing from residents.
Villagers have overwhelmingly backed plans by Barr Community Council to make use of windfarm money to help out with winter fuel poverty.
The community council had recently pointed out that many residents rely on expensive oil or liquid petroleum gas to heat their homes. A report on the outcome of the ballot states that the ballot results 'will inform the Community Council’s decisions and discussions with SSE and Renantis '. The proposal of a winter fuel grant to every household was the most popular among respondents with 89 per cent supporting the plan compared to just nine per cent opposed.
While the vast majority backed the fuel grant and, to a lesser extent, gym membership and television licenses, a small number made their total opposition clear. "We see the exercise to be a ploy to spend the community's money on short term sops rather than on longer term needs, such as operational seeding for the community hall after Community Asset Transfer."
