Please join us in our campaign to protect Kidsley Park Farm and the local countryside from being taken over by a corporate solar firm. 

'Farmer Andrew' is a local Derbyshire farmer whose entire livelihood is at risk. As a third generation farmer, his family have farmed in Smalley village for 94 years. He has continuously supported our local communities and businesses and has been a huge advocate for numerous local schools and community projects.

Kidsley Park Farm is at risk of being entirely taken over by an energy firm moving to use the land as a base for a new solar farm. Over 100 acres of fields would be used for the project, destroying the farm and harming the Green Belt it sits on. Andrew's business, livelihood and the Smalley countryside would be ruined and no financial benefit would be seen by the community whatsoever.

The farm is home to a huge variety of wildlife - some red and amber listed, all at risk. 5 miles of public trails and footpaths run through the farm, connecting villages and communities together.

Please help us to support and protect Farmer Andrew, Kidsley Park Farm and the residents of Smalley and it's surrounding communities. It is immoral that large, corporate energy companies can destroy small businesses and local people.

We hope you are able to support us in our campaign by signing our petition.

Thank you
