Thank you to our supporters
Thank you for joining our conversations and efforts to stop the development of Lime Down Solar Park. We all agree that despite the obvious benefits of using green energy, a development of this size is bound to have far-reaching negative ramifications for the countryside we love and the farming communities which support rural life.
We have a superb team as well as a legal firm who are dedicated and determined to fight these proposals.
There's no question about it, everyone's help is going to be invaluable for this fight.
Action for now:
- Express your objection to your MP and councillors
We are raising funds to support the campaign costs, such as printing and legal costs and can provide you with details of governance around this. All those helping with the campaign are giving their time and expertise at their own expense to support the campaign. Fund raising details can be found below.
In the meantime, if you haven't already let us know, please could you tell us how you think you may be able to contribute to the campaign, the time you are able to dedicate to helping and whether you are able to travel. This can be anything from leaflet dropping and putting to research and expert advice.
Registering your support also means that when the time comes to send in formal objections, we can call upon you for your help and let you know what action is needed.

The North Wessex Way The Forgotten Road across North Wiltshire
David Mitchell, a local historian, will be giving a talk about the ancient road that runs across North Wiltshire, the Braydon Forest and through Malmesbury to Luckington, which he discovered on a map dated 1675. This started a 10 year research effort that has taken him back through 2000 years of history.
The talk will cover:
- The route and history of the road, including wars, Kings, monks, Vikings, Romans and buried treasure
- How the route became forgotten because of two dodgy Members of Parliament
- The historical importance of the section of the route near Sherston as it skirts the Lime Down Solar Farm proposed site.
- 50% of the proceeds from the talk will be donated to the Stop Lime Down campaign.
The talk will begin at 7pm at Sherston Village Hall
Bar opens at 6.30pm.
