Marlow has been described as one of the greenest towns in the UK as there has been an increase in solar panels within the area.
During June, a member of the Marlow Energy Group (MEG) cycled around the town and recorded the number of panels which have been installed.
In February 2020, 76 houses had 895 electricity panels, whilst 40 houses had 76 water panels.

In addition, four non-domestic buildings, including one school (Spinfield), have had a total of 186 electricity panels and two thermal panels installed.
This brings the current total to 2,271 - a rise from 1,112 in 2020.
