A special drop-in event is being held on Thursday 13 October at Lilleshall memorial hall to present the local community with the latest plans for a solar farm to be built between Lilleshall and Sheriffhales.
Open to the public from 12pm until 7pm, the exhibition will provide the community with an opportunity to find out more about the proposed Hilton Fields solar farm, which will be located on private agricultural land off Lilyhurst Lane. If the plans get the green light from Shropshire Council, the solar farm will provide clean electricity for 9,500 homes in the area and save 14,400 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.
The Lilleshall consultation event will be hosted by solar farm experts greentech, which is developing the project. A team from greentech will be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions residents or local business owners may have about the proposed solar farm and how it might affect them.
If you have questions before or after the day, or are unable to attend but would like more information, please visit www.hiltonfields.greentech.energy/
