Work has started to install the first on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging points in H&F.
Builders are breaking ground at nine sites across the borough as H&F Council steps up its efforts to promote cleaner, greener transport by creating 18 new charging bays.
Once installed and safety tested, the charging points will be ‘juiced-up’ and ready to use by early March.
The EV charging points, which will each have two bays, will be part of the Source London Network which will own and maintain them.
Residents can simply subscribe to the scheme online and then use the network’s charging points anywhere in London.
Ownership of electric vehicles has tripled year on year and following demand from residents, even more bays will be built over the next 12 months.
The bays can only be used by those charging electric vehicles and will be enforced to prevent misuse.
The first nine charging point sites are listed below.
- Brook Green
- Farm Lane
- Standish Road
- Du Cane Road
- Parson Green
- Wolverton Gardens
- Thaxton Road
- Gayford Road
- Blacks Road
