Father Martin Chambers was such an incredibly kind soul, he was so well liked by people of all faiths & none. He will be missed across the communities he served in Kilmarnock & more recently in Troon. He was a humble servant of his faith & to our community. May he rest in peace.

Onshore Wind Turbines cost 40% of offshore ones, pay for themselves in 9 months and generate 37x their cost in electricity.

The electricity they generate is 8 times cheaper than gas. Far too cheap, which is why Rishi Sunak has banned them.
