🌿🌿 It’s been a busy and inspiring month for our community! Support for the campaign against Stell Solar Farm is growing stronger every day. We’ve now reached 1,079 verified signatures on our petition — an incredible show of unity and determination — and over 200 formal objections have been submitted on the North Yorkshire Council planning portal.

There’s also been national media coverage of our campaign, thanks to Jack Fifield of South West News, who discovered us through our Change.org petition and helped bring our story to a national audience. His article appeared in all the major newspapers, raising awareness far beyond our local area. If you missed it, you can find his piece — and many others — under the Media section of our website.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our campaign so far. 💚 If you haven’t yet submitted an objection on the planning portal, please take a moment to do so. We’ve made it super easy via our website — just visit www.stellsolarfarm.com, complete the short form on the home page, and it will be date- and time-stamped before being automatically forwarded to the planning department. Every objection counts and helps strengthen our collective voice.

This momentum proves that people care deeply about protecting the landscape, wildlife, and rural character of our area. Every single signature, objection, and conversation helps ensure that decision-makers understand the strength of local feeling and the real impact this industrial-scale development would have on our community.

We’re making a difference — let’s keep going! 💪🌾
