Scottish Water has revealed its timeline to get a planning application in by early next year for its new £5.6 million waste water treatment site on Seil, writes Kathie Griffiths. The saga of where to locate the plant has rumbled on for more than two years, splitting opinion among islanders. But a favoured proposal unanimously agreed by a group of stakeholders is now moving forward.
The option also has the support of independent consultant Chris Chubb, who said he was ‘firmly of the opinion’ that it offers the best environmental outcome for the residents of Seil. Last week Scottish Water hosted a drop-in session to update islanders on the project.
Scottish Water’s head of corporate relations, Alan Thompson, said: ‘We believe we have been through a robust process, with unanimous agreement from the stakeholders group, to come to the proposal we are going forward with, but we always knew we would not get unanimous support from everyone on the island. We do believe it is the best option that people can live with but we will continue to engage with people.’
