The
purpose of the report was to acknowledge the successful grant
application and request the Council includes £383,200 in the
Capital Programme and supports the match funding of up to
£191,600.
 
The
Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Sustainability introduced the
report, highlighting the following points;

The
proposals were deemed as timely, due to the previous summer being
the second UK’s hottest on record, which was an impact of
climate change.
Transport was the District’s biggest contributor to its
carbon footprint, and cars made up a significant proportion of
this. Electric Vehicle use would therefore help with the
achievement of the Council’s Climate Change
objectives.
The
proposals would see 66 chargers installed across 11 car
parks.

 
Members of the Cabinet welcomed the recommendations and
encouraged residents to utilise electric vehicles. It was also
clarified that the Council did not run on-street car parks despite
the title of the report. The report title reflected the name of the
grant.
 
The
recommendations were proposed by Councillor Mike McKeown and seconded by Councillor Tony
Dale
 
RESOLVED: That Cabinet
 

NOTED
the successful grant application of £191,600;
AGREED to recommend to Council to include £383,200 in the
Capital Programme and that the Council supports match funding of up
to £191,600
