A request for help to fund Solar Farms SOS at Stowe by Chartley
An independent fund has kindly been set up by Jane and Jeff Harrnett in the name of “Solar Farms SOS – Stowe by Chartley” to help the working party, to continue to raise objections and concerns regarding solar farms in the area. So far, all the costs of the working party have been met by the parish council, with help from a local business. For example, just meetings, so far have cost almost £500, to rent the hall and printing costs are on average £160 per meeting. Supported by lots of voluntary help.
Please note, the working party is made up of both Parish Councillors and local parishioners.
Anyone can donate, even if you don’t live in the area, any help will most definitely be gratefully received.
