Meeting

This weekend I met with local campaigners fighting the solar panel proposals.

Current applications plan for 13,000 acres to be covered with solar panels within a six-mile radius around Gainsborough town.

And this massive solar installation will generate just fifteen per cent the output of a proper power station. It's patently ridiculous.

We will carry on fighting against it.
