Sir – I am surprised by your report that Veronica Hurst, chair of Friends of Old Headington, has persuaded Oxford City Council to remove solar panels from affordable houses built by the city council, because “they aren’t particularly sympathetic to their surroundings”.
But they are sympathetic to the environment. Indeed, all new buildings should have solar panels included in their design – then we might be doing something positive to mitigate global warming.
