Over the past four and a half years one of Greg Smith's top priorities has been protecting our Buckinghamshire countryside from unwanted development.
Our fields are for farming, for producing the food we all want to eat. Food security is so important - the invasion of Ukraine by Russia underlined that point. So it is mad to cover our fields in solar panels, battery storage and buildings.
We need to build homes and commercial premises on brownfield sites instead and the place for solar is on rooftops.
In the last Parliament Greg got national planning policy updated to better protect land used in food production and only a few weeks ago the government listened and brought forward new rules to cut down on land take for solar.
Greg won’t give up on fighting to protect our Buckinghamshire countryside and farms.
