A consortium of local authorities, including both Telford & Wrekin and Shropshire Council, has been awarded £39 million to get more electric vehicle (EV) chargers onto the streets.
Thirteen Midlands councils came together to create two partnerships across the region to successfully submit a bid for the Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund, alongside the transport body Midlands Connect.
The partnerships have an award of £39.3 million, and each local authority has been allocated an individual amount from that pot. Ian Nellins, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for climate change, environment and transport, welcomed the news. “Shropshire Council’s latest figures show there is already strong demand for charging points across the county, and we have already seen 400 users responsible for in excess of 1,000 transactions at our existing points. This is the equivalent of around 5,226 miles of travel, saving around 1.5 tonnes of carbon by comparison with conventional petrol and diesel vehicles."
