Stop solar farms being built on farmland and place them on all rooftops instead

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop permitting solar famrs to be built on farmland of any type and instead place them on the roofs of all public buildings, tall buildings over 5 storeys and all carparks including building a roof on ground level carparks to hold the panels. Stop forcing farmers to sell their land for solar farms.

As an island, and a once indepedant island, we need to our farmland to produce food. Raising meat, growing crops and feeding the british people with british food, we cannot eat solar panels. There is more than enough roof top space in cities and towns to accomodate enough solar panels. Stop placing them in farmland and put them on the roofs of all public building, buildings over 5 storeys tall, all large capacity buildings and all carparks
