The construction of solar farms in and around Shrewsbury is being supported by local Labour Party members, who say the developments are "desperately needed".Shrewsbury & Atcham Labour Party says it supports the principle of building solar farms in the constituency
A statement from the party said:"At a recent meeting members agreed that these developments were desperately needed to ensure energy security into the future and were not at odds with allowing the land to be productive." "Shropshire Council have declared a Climate Emergency and the UN General Secretary recently said that we are on a ‘Highway to Hell with our foot firmly on the accelerator'."
"The meeting sympathised with these feelings. However, it was felt on balance, considering the food and energy crisis that many families in the county are now suffering from, that it was crucial to support solar farms which will be able to provide the cheap, green energy that will help the people of Shropshire and also protect our planet.
