Our Mission and Vision
We are a community action group united to protect our countryside from industrial - scale solar & BESS developments. Our aim is to preserve green fields, safeguard local heritage and farmland and promote renewable energy solutions that are sustainable, responsible and placed where they truly belong - on rooftops, carparks, brownfield sites and already - developed land.
Together, we will raise awareness, engage our community and ensure our voices are heard in the planning process.
