12 April 20242 May 2024 - Holyrood Debate
Thanks to the hard work by our friends at Save Our Mearns, MSPs will be holding a debate about SSEN's grid upgrades.
Pylon campaigners from across Scotland will take this golden opportunity to attend Holyrood to join together to make our voices heard.
SSEN's proposals aren't good enough and communities should have much more say in the process. Why not come along and swell our ranks, enjoy a day out or long weekend in Edinburgh.
Thursday 2 May
11.30: Assemble outside parliament
