Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
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
