Dunnstown campaigners set up petition to KCC

The organisers of the campaign against the proposed Battery Energy Storage System at Dunnstown have launched an online petition to Kildare County Council, writes Brian Byrne.

The petition is on the Change.org platform, and since set up two weeks ago, it has been signed by 138 people. 

The Two-Mile-House-Says-NO! campaign represents people in the rural communities of Coughlanstown, Dunnstown, Dunshane, Flemington, Harristown, Mullacash, Two-Mile-House and surrounding areas.

The campaigners are calling for public support to join them in opposing the planning application for the BESS and a new substation, submitted by Strategic Power Projects Limited.

The developer has responded by saying that claims by the campaign amount to 'scaremongering'. 

Submissions have to be made by 9 June.
