Stoke Golding says "No"

A team of people have been out and about on the streets of Stoke Golding asking people about their views on the proposed solar farm. They took with them the petition which will be used as part of the opposition case against the solar farm.

At the end of the weekend we had managed to contact 471 houses out of a total of 734. Of the 471 houses, 352 households signed the petition (75%). The remaining houses were unwilling to sign with a large proportion of these neutral or having no view. In total 454 people have now signed the petition.

Statistically this is a very valid representation of the views of the village achieving a confidence level of over 95% in the results.

So thank you to all who signed the petition, but we need more as this will carry only limited weight with the planners. At the last count the planners had received around 70 letters of objection which is high but low compared to the 352 households who signed the petition.So please do take a few minutes to put pen to paper. All the information you need to write in is here on this website.
