Labour (Co-op) — Bathgate and Linlithgow

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 January 2025

Debate

New Homes (Solar Generation) Bill

Contribution

This point has been made a few times, but it is almost as if there is a tension between protecting our natural environment and making progress on renewable energy sources. It is not a choice between the two; one is central to the other. As a former councillor, I know that it is vital that community voices are heard in this. If there is one thing that upsets local communities, it is when they are not involved in conversations on matters that directly impact them and the areas they live in. Does my hon. Friend agree?
