To consider the following Notice of Motion, moved by Councillor Bridges and seconded by Councillor Reynolds “That Council notes that 548 people in Stoke-on-Trent local authority have installed solar power since the introduction of the Feed-in Tariffs scheme under the last Labour Government; Council further notes that at a time when our economy has been flat-lining and unemployment rising, since the scheme came into force the number of people employed in the solar industry has increased from 3000 to 25,000; Council believes that solar power gives families greater control over their energy bills and will help the UK meet our renewable energy targets and reduce our carbon emissions; Council regrets the Government’s planned cuts to Feed-in Tariffs which put thousands of jobs in the solar industry at risk and exclude nearly nine out ten families in Stoke-on-Trent local authority from installing solar power; Council further regrets the cuts to multi-installation tariffs, which will hit local authorities, housing associations and community groups and make solar power the reserve of a wealthy few, and calls on the Government to rethink their devastating cuts to Feed-in Tariffs.”
