6. Matters raised by BCC members Mr A. Harrison raised the matter of the request from Mr P. Norris of Save Cowal’s Hills for a letter of support for their efforts to prevent the Bachan Burn wind farm project going ahead. Mrs J. Donald said that Bute Community Council should offer support as it may need their support in the future. Mr P. Duffy suggested support on the basis that Dunoon Community Council was against the project, as was the local MSP. Mr M. Catlin said that Bute Community Council should support the objections to the project as it was not a community based venture. Mrs J.
