WHO IS STOP BOTLEY WEST?

• The Stop Botley West Campaign (a private company limited by guarantee) is a community group of volunteers dedicated to protecting the heritage, environment and amenities of Oxfordshire from significant and long-term damage caused by the proposed Botley West Utility-Scale Solar Power Station. We will achieve this by stopping or significantly reducing the scale of the Botley West proposal while promoting alternative renewable energy solutions to achieving the decarbonisation of Oxfordshire’s economy.

We believe our ambitious climate targets must be achieved sustainably by:

• Achieving the right balance between clean energy, nature preservation and food security
• Using the full range of renewable energy solutions including community solar farms and solar on rooftops and brownfield sites as well as energy saving measures for homes, industry and transport
• Promoting the health and wellbeing of all our citizens.

The Chair of Stop Botley West is Professor Alex David Rogers
