Campaign Win: Solar Panels to Be Standard on New Homes

I welcomed a major campaign victory as the Government confirms new legislation this autumn requiring solar panels to be fitted on almost all new-build homes in England. The announcement follows a successful grassroots petition backed by residents across Redditch and the Villages.

This is a huge step forward for clean, affordable energy. It’s a rooftop revolution that will cut bills for families and help tackle climate change.

The change marks a significant milestone in the fight for sustainable housing, demonstrating how local voices can drive national progress.
