“So what’s your message to local villages in my constituency who are now going to have a huge solar farm built on their doorstep? And it’s a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project and will be railroaded through by this Government.” Labour’s answer? “Sometimes that means that some areas will have to deal with renewable energy.” Today I was on BBC PoliticsLive and once again the topic of energy infrastructure was discussed. The Labour MP for Barking, Nesil Caliskan has little sympathy for those in Great Staughton and Hail Weston who stand to be impacted should the 1,900-acre East Park Energy solar farm be given the green light by this Labour Government.
