Alicia Kearns MP has officially presented our community’s Parliamentary petition against Mallard Pass solar plant to the House of Commons. 

Alicia’s petition against the proposed solar plant has been signed by 3,414 concerned individuals. 

Whilst online petitions achieve tens of thousands of signatures in days, it is deeply uncommon for physically signed petitions to reach over a few hundred, so this is a real tribute to our communities. 

The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero is due to make the final decision on whether to approve or reject the solar plant by 16th May 2024. 

Alicia Kearns, Member of Parliament for Rutland and Melton, said: 

“I would like to pay tribute to the amazing work of the Mallard Pass Action Group and all the members of our wonderful communities who have come together to take a stand against this heinous development. 

“This presentation marks the culmination of months of hard collective work. I am hopeful the number of signatures on my petition will impress upon the Government why this wholly unacceptable development must not be allowed to go ahead.”
