Argyll and Bute Council's leader has expressed disappointment at the planned closure of the Vesta wind turbine factory in Machrihanish, Kintyre. The plant is to close with the loss of 92 jobs, after the Danish owner claimed it did not make enough money. Council leader, Dick Walsh, said: ‘This factory has supplied many people with employment opportunities since it opened, but today's announcement will have a devastating impact on the whole community.'
