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.

Shrewsbury traffic strategy 'like a fat man loosening his belt to tackle obesity' - claimA campaign group has said Shropshire Council, which is pushing forward plans for Shrewsbury's controversial North West Relief Road, is 'not serious' about the climate emergency - after new forecasts suggested traffic could soar by 44 per cent in the next two decades. Are you in a climate emergency? That sounds terrible. Did you already call emergency services to report it? Is help on the way? ClimateScam And after the next two decades most vehicles will be electric so moot point. And if we have more vehicles (electric) then we'll need more roads. Of course the council isn't serious about a climate emergency. They should have the guts to tell the truth - nearly bankrupt, closed minds, hate their kids and everyone else's, want to wreck where they live and all for the housing bungs. Sad but there's no other reason.
