The ATA has been notified by Transport team at the Council that a public consultation has gone live to allow them to consider locations within the Borough to trial lamppost charging for electric vehicles. There is a link to the consultation below and it is your opportunity promote the Triangle and your street. The trial is really focused on existing EV owners and those considering buying an EV in the future that might be put off by limited opportunities to charge in the vicinity but this is our opportunity to promote the Triangle and to encourage EV's to the area. Whilst we haven't seen the style of the charging points we'd assume they are more fitting for the conservation area by being linked to lampposts than the charging points on Blisset Street and Maidenstone Hill which are our closest charging points currently. Link to the consultation here: https://greenwichlamppostcharging.commonplace.is/
