Shocking to hear that idiots are damaging this beautiful historic building often visited by walkers. Please let the police know if you have any information. www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-n...

Fed up with solar panels ruining the countryside? Please support the CPRE campaign to contact your MP to encourage them get them installed on otherwise wasted space above car parks. rooftoprevolution.cpre.postbug.app

We hope you are supporting the principles of the CPRE's sunshine Bill. As well as putting solar panels in the best place, on roofs, it will ensure lower bills for residents of new houses rather than bigger profits for builders. www.cpre.org.uk/news/sunshin...

Sunshine Bill debate calling for solar PV on new homes adjourned

The Sunshine Bill debate for rooftop solar has been adjourned until July.

There are far too many of these horrible incidents happening. You must keep your dog under close control anywhere near livestock. Especially as many vulnerable ewes are heavily pregnant at the moment. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Have read the first few chapters after buying a copy from Tom at our AGM a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoying it. It is a very positive book that gives hope for the future.

Don't forget it is our AGM tomorrow at 10.30 am. It's at Long Itchington Community Centre, CV47 9QP. If you are driving, parking is free, look out for a steward in high viz at the entrance. See you there!

Warwickshire Area's AGM will be in Long Itchington in the Warwickshire countryside this Saturday and we have a similar walk planned for afterwards to walk off the buffet lunch!

About 1.5 miles of paths are affected by this application. Rather than walking through pleasant countryside you would be walking between two metres high security fences. Hardly any of the new houses being built around Leamington have solar panels on their roofs. That's where to put them.

It isn't about eliminating solar farms, it is about reducing the need for them so they are not installed where they damage the countryside and take valuable farmland out of use. The CPRE site we quoted claims 60% of Britain's solar can be generated by rooftop, so that would be a big help.
