271 new on-street charging points will be installed in 40 locations
Installation is beginning this month in Falcons Court and St Mary’s Lane in Much Wenlock, in Mill Street and Aston Street in Wem, and at Abbey Foregate in Shrewsbury. Ian Nellins, Shropshire Council’s cabinet member for climate change, environment and transport, said: “It’s fantastic to see the progress we are making with electric vehicle infrastructure in Shropshire. EVs are much better for the environment as they give off less pollution and greenhouse gases, and it’s imperative that we look at more sustainable ways to get around our large and rural county.”
Councillor Nellins added: “It’s great to see more sustainable transport becoming more and more widespread in the county. It’s so important we have EV chargers that are accessible to everyone and not only those people with off-road parking such as driveways or garages.”
