Dave Conway makes our case at the Windsock exhibition
Our Campaign Manager spent two days at Cranwell Village Hall, making Reform UK’s position on the 640-acre Windsock solar scheme clear to the local people who came to see the plans.
Dave Conway, Campaign Manager for Reform UK Sleaford & North Hykeham, attended the public exhibition for the proposed Windsock solar farm at Cranwell Village Hall on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 October.
The exhibition gave residents their chance to see developer BLC Energy’s plans. Dave was there on both days, talking to people who came along and making the views of the Reform UK Sleaford & North Hykeham branch clear: Lincolnshire’s farmland should be growing food, not hosting industrial-scale solar.
What’s proposed
Why it matters
Windsock would add to the thousands of acres of solar already approved across North Kesteven, including Springwell, Heckington Fen and Beacon Fen. Because of its size, it is expected to be decided in Whitehall rather than by the people who live here.
That makes this early consultation one of the few chances residents get to be heard before the plans are fixed. Reform UK will keep turning up, keep asking the questions and keep standing with residents, as we did at Cranwell.
Have your say
If you live near Cranwell, tell the developer what you think while the consultation is open. When the application goes in, you can register as an interested party with the Planning Inspectorate so your views are formally on the record. Our Solar Watch page tracks Windsock and every other major scheme in North Kesteven.
