I watch "Look North" and the enquiries for solar panels has gone up across the area - I imagine the whole of the UK.

One bloke, "I cant control what happens in the world, but I can for our family life"

👏👏

Sad it took these terrible events - but I'm glad for this particular outcome.

We don’t know MT62, do we? It’s one of those unresearched media outrage stories. I imagine a junior reporter was dispatched to his house to check out his roof.

We've had them for 12 years and now have battery storage. Quite an outlay but reassuring to be a but more self sufficient. We're not ones for extravagant holidays and like our home to be as energy efficient as possible so saw it as an important investment. I've never understood why it's not been compulsory to fit them on all new build houses.Hundreds are going up round here and only the most recent development has them.And then just a token 3 or 4.And why on earth aren't all these huge warehouses along our motorways covered in them rather than taking more green belt or arable land for food production?Compared to many European countries we are rubbish at planning for the future.
