£1.1 million Stonebyres Refurbishment
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the recent completion of refurbishment works at Stonebyres hydro-electric power station on the banks of the River Clyde; notes that it is one of two power stations of the Lanark Hydro Scheme, and that the scheme has been operating since 1927, generating power throughout the year for around 17,000 homes; appreciates that, with lockdown measures easing and local residents' desire to enjoy the outdoors, Stonebyres is within close proximity to various nature walks and is a category A listed building, the highest possible grading as it is designated as a site of national architectural importance, and welcomes that £1.1 million has been invested by Drax ahead of the 100th anniversary.
