They want the minister to reverse the decision made a couple of weeks ago by his junior, Lee Rowley, who overruled a planning inspector and Telford & Wrekin Council and pushed through the plans. The 40 hectare solar farm at the base of the Wrekin would be the size of 75 football pitches and will provide power to more than 8,500 homes.
A motion at the Wellington Town Council on Tuesday evening was proposed by Cllr Angela McClements calling on Michael Gove to come to Telford and Wrekin and see for himself the"beautiful and precious green area of New Works which is enjoyed by so many".
