Saw this in Spain as well, what a great idea. @Royal_Greenwich Can't we do this in the borough, surely this would pay for itself over time.

“the idea has an obvious attraction. Rather than covering productive farmland – 17,000 acres of solar farms are planned in Norfolk alone – solar carports make use of land that is already covered by asphalt.”

Why is govt rejecting it?

Good news for Eltham’s heritage!

Earlier this month, RBG took the decision to add four sites in Eltham town centre to the Local Heritage List.

The sites were 3-7 Blunts Road, The Park Tavern, The Tram Sheds and 224 Eltham High Street (the old Man of Kent pub - before my time!)
