Concern about negative landscape impact
The Vall de Sau-Collsacabra Tourism Promotion Consortium has sent a letter to various public administrations expressing the concern and discomfort of private companies in the tourism and leisure sector due to the possible negative impact on the landscape that the construction of the power line could have. MAT in the Guilleries.
Proposal to bury the line
In the letter, signed by the president of the consortium, Josep Oriol Tafanell, the situation is explained and the undergrounding of the line is proposed taking advantage of the imminent splitting of the Transversal Axis.
Contradiction with the protection of the territory
The consortium considers it a contradiction that the MAT is allowed to cross a territory protected by the administrations. In recent years, the Vall de Sau-Collsacabra has redirected part of its activities towards the tourism and leisure sector due to the recession in agriculture and the poor future prospects. Many entrepreneurs have invested large sums of money in tourism businesses, often with the help of administrations, and are now experiencing cancellations of reservations due to the passage of the MAT through these areas that depend on the landscape.
Project redirection request
Faced with this situation, the private companies in the tourism sector request that the project be redirected towards a total burial. The letter has been sent to the Minister of Economy, Antoni Castells, to the President of the Generalitat José Montilla, to the Minister of Environment, Francesc Baltasar, to the President of the Provincial Council, to the regional council of Osona and to the seven mayors who are part of the consortium Currently, we are waiting to receive a response.
