Cllr Alan Schneiderman warned against putting solar farms on parks A councillor has called for all of Barnet’s parks and green spaces to be protected amid fears some could be used as sites for solar farms. Labour’s environment spokesman Cllr Alan Schneiderman warned against proposals he claimed would restrict access to parks and green spaces deemed low-value and low-quality by the council. A total of 45 of the borough’s open spaces have been put into this category – and a savings proposal drawn up by the council revealed some could be used for solar farms.
