In the space of a week, the UK Government has approved the Jackdaw gas field and the Scottish Government has approved a new gas burning power plant at Peterhead.  

  • The power station will burn gas until 2059, locking in climate pollution, demand for gas and keeping energy bills high 

  • Developers SSE and Equinor have wildly underestimated the true climate harm of the project– their plans are entirely based on unproven carbon capture technology  

  • Scottish Government Ministers broke their own Ministerial code on 27 occasions while handling this planning application 

Join us for an emergency Halloween themed demo at Bute House (the First Minister John Swinney's official residence) on Saturday 31st October to make our message loud and clear – we will not back down!

Family friendly protest, bring your friends, kids, neighbours. Spooky placards, carved pumpkins and Halloween costumes welcome! Let's show the Scottish Government just how scary a future ruled by fossil fuels will be.
