🥀📈 Labour-run Oxford City Council up to their eyes in debt - SHOCK! To think they want a unitary council that absorbs surrounding villages - NO THANKS! Council debt is now equivalent to £1746 per person UP by £423 since last year. #SameOldLabour

Another example of complete and utter Lib Dem incompetence with regards to planning in #Oxfordshire with taxpayers picking up the tab… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg71…

While Labour government are commissioning huge scale panel developments on prime farmland, they are also spending £50m of public money on sun dimming experiments. You can’t make this stuff up.

So the UK government is spending £50m of public money on sun dimming experiments, but at the same time, plastering solar panels on farmland. And in a country that has one of the lowest annual sunshine levels on the planet. And they said that the grown ups were in charge? 🤷‍♂️

Two large solar farms previously rejected by Cherwell council are now up for appeal. Only 0.6% of England is required for solar energy so we must be selective about where we produce it. We need a Renewable Strategy which protects the countryside. cpreoxon.org.uk/news/noke-an…

Having now fought 2 solar sites in Shropshire, both in protected landscapes next to AONB, both on farmland, both ultimately approved, the net zero zealotry trumps everything 😡

Mass-scale solar panels shouldn’t be plastered over prime agricultural land. We risk losing our quality soil, scenic countryside, farmland and fresh food supply at our own peril.

Mass-scale solar panels on prime farmland shouldn’t ever be approved and developed. As well as destroying scenic countryside, it reduces domestic food supply. Put solar panels on brownfields, car parks and roofs instead.

Put solar panels on car parks rather than on prime farmland.
