Solar panels could be set for roof of STEAM Museum
Swindon's STEAM museum is set for a green makeover as solar panels could be installed on the roof. And there may be more solar farms going up around the borough, and wider area as well, councillors have been told Members of Swindon Borough Council's Build a Greener Swindon policy and performance committee heard from the cabinet member for environment and transport, Councillor Chris Watts, and senior officer Edward Jones on the progress of the authority in cutting its own emissions. Chairman of the committee, Councillor Neil Hopkins, said: 'We and Wiltshire Council encourage residents to join solar together as a way of them cutting their emissions, but there are very few solar panels on the council's buildings. Hopes to end 'stigmatisation' of Penhill with £20m funding New event full of fun Lego-themed activities at Steam CPS pay tribute to manslaughter victim's family after one-punch death 'It took me years to get panels on South Swindon Parish Council buildings, can we do more here?' Mr Jones was unequivocal: 'Yes. We are looking at putting a solar panel on the roof of STEAM Museum, it will make it much more energy efficient and also keep it warmer in the winter - I understand it's very cold in winter. 'And while solar farms are not as popular as they once were because they are not as efficient as people thought they would be, we have a much better understanding of them now.' He added: 'Swindon is a particularly good place for them, being in Southern England but with land costs a lot less than around Bath and Bristol. 'We can make much better use of solar here in Swindon.' The report showed that the council had done well in cutting its emissions and was on target for a 57 per cent cut in its 2018-19 emissions by 2030 and a 78 per cent cut by 2035. But he said there was more to be done: 'Our biggest cut has come from going over to LED streetlights, and we've also benefited from the decarbonisation of the grid in general – there's more solar, more wind, more nuclear and less fossil fuel being used to generate electricity. 'But that hasn't been our conscious choice. We will have to make more conscious choices in the future.' Councillors were told that there is a rolling plan to change the council's vehicles from running on diesel to electricity, which Mr Jones said was 20 times cheaper. Councillor Watts said the fleet of recycling and refuse collection lorries was less than two years old – but the council did have a long-term ambition of acquiring electric lorries when that fleet needs replacing.

Working mum is sick of stay-at-home dads being the punchline in 2025
Don't miss out on the headlines from Parenting. Followed categories will be added to My News. When Sarah went back to work and her husband Mitch became the stay-at-home parent, she didn't expect to have to justify it as often as she does. The Adelaide mum is met with sympathy, her husband with praise and both of them cop opinions that belong back in 1963. She's sick of it. Image: Supplied RELATED: Yes, let's normalise baby showers for dads "I couldn't do that" Every day, Sarah clocks on, managing her mortgage broking business, while Mitch mans the fort as a stay-at-home dad to their two kids: Bowie, four, and Albi, six months. 'When people say, 'Oh, I couldn't do that.'... that is so hurtful as a mum,' Sarah told Kidspot. The decision for Mitch to stay at home wasn't groundbreaking. It was practical. 'It was a natural progression. It just made sense for our family,' she said. When Sarah fell pregnant with Albi, Mitch had been working part-time as a commercial carpenter. It allowed Sarah to launch her business which quickly skyrocketed to success. 'When I fell pregnant, it was just sort of like, okay, we'll make the decision that I'll go back to work and you'll stay home. It just worked,' she explained 'We don't ever get praised for mundane mum life" But their decision made one thing painfully clear: the gender role reversal wasn't as accepted as they'd hoped. The jokes rolled in, the criticism came thick and fast, and the compliments always had a sting in their tail. 'My husband gets sort of the butt of the jokes from his mates. You know, you have to ask Sarah 'are you allowed to go out today?'' she explained. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Sarah says what they're doing works for them and that should be enough. 'It doesn't need an explanation. Mitch is a great dad. Full stop. That's a full sentence.' But Mitch also receives praise for doing the bare minimum. Tasks most mothers complete daily without recognition. 'The amount of people that praise him for doing mundane tasks is unbelievable,' she said. 'We don't ever get praised for mundane mum life.' When it came to daily life, the 'mum default' was everywhere. Image: Supplied RELATED: Dad's poem warms hearts: 'I'm a tank in a tiara' "All of his mates are at work" Even the weekly routine felt gendered, with most daytime activities clearly geared towards mums. 'We've noticed that there is actually really nothing for men or male stay-at-home parents to do during the week that aren't female-based is one of the things we've noticed,' Sarah said. 'He is bored s***less because all of his mates are at work.' And while Sarah might be the one bringing home the income, that doesn't mean her maternal responsibilities disappear. She still carries the invisible every other mum does. The maternal nature is still strong. ''I still am constantly thinking, do we have nappies? Do we have wipes? When's our next doctor's appointment? Have I booked Bowie in for X, Y, and Z? When does dance start? Does Auskick start?' she shared. For Sarah, it all comes back to showing her kids that there's no one way to be a family and no shame in choosing a path that works. 'We're just a normal working-class family,' Sarah added. 'Maybe one day, this will just be normal and no one will talk about it because it's just business as usual.'
