Following the presentation, John Green thanked Dan and Ed for making the journey all the way to Caithness to update the public and apologised for the relatively poor turn-out, stating that since it was the school holidays many people were away. Dan Pearson reiterated the company's commitment to full consultation with the community and made it clear that should any outstanding matters of concern be raised he would be more than happy to answer them either through the community council or indeed direct.
