*Everybody* I know, including all the Conservative voters and nimby protesters in my division, want compulsory solar panels on new build roofs. Labour, LD, Green voters, maybe even Reform, if they haven't been dragged down a conspiracy tunnel. How can we not be doing this? Still?

Exclusive: Cut would mean at least 239,000 fewer hectares of nature-friendly farmland, according to RSPB

Identifying where Swifts nest in a town such as Buxton is a tremendous feat and the team at @bca1967 should be proud of what they've achieved...wait until you see the results from 2024! https://t.co/HazhMA5vGw
