David Tredinnick MP came to Stoke Golding

A large gathering of residents  braved the elements to show MP David Tredinnick and County Councillor Ivan Ould their dismay at a proposed 16 acre solar panel farm to be surrounded by an 8 foot high security fence that would run alongside the village recreation ground.

Despite driving rain and icy winds around 60 people turned up to explain why there was such an overwhelming objection to this massive development. They explained to Mr Tredinnick and Cllr Ould that the recreation ground is the only green area in the village where people of all ages can safely walk, play, take part in sporting activities and enjoy events and activities.  The open landscape is enjoyed and valued by everyone and will be completely ruined if the development goes ahead.

Mr Tredinnick listened carefully and openly to what residents had to say and promised that he would make representations on our behalf as did Cllr Ould.

Thank you to all who turned up in such horrible conditions. It is heartening to see people standing up so strongly for what they believe to be right.
