Solar Panels could become a regular sight on houses in Winchester. Talks are currently underway between Winchester City Council, and installation companies, over the plans.
Councillor Lucille Thompson said that originally the project was to install solar panels on up to 2000 council houses, allowing the tenants to have cheaper electricity during the day.
She goes on to say that the Liberal Democrats are backing the scheme, and that for them it is a high priority, but this may not be case for the current administration.
In response to this, Councillor Norma Bogda assures that she is in favour of looking after working-class people, but the scheme all comes down to finances, and as it stands, nothing is set in stone.
For the time being, the future of the Winchester solar panel scheme remains uncertain.

A recent Winchester City Council Survey has unearthed an issue concerning the abuse of parking permits. Local residents have been found to be exploiting the terms and conditions of the contract.
The Council are now planning a crackdown on the abuse of parking permits across the City, with the main affected areas being the train station, the University, and around the Cathedral.
Councillor Steven Godfrey-a member of the parking and traffic committee claims that residents have identified that some of the parking permit areas have more spaces for permit holders, than others.
