Decision details

Hayley Chivers, Acting Transport Planning Manager introduced the report and in response to questions explained that:

At the point of installation, if the car ownership is confirmed, the bay is marked.  If it is not, the team will check again periodically.  The bay marking is done in phases.  Some bays have been unmarked for a while.

The number of charges made at an EV point is monitored, not the number of vehicles using it.

One supplier has recently increased its price and the other is likely to do so soon.

There are no time restrictions on the use of the points.  If there is an issue of overstaying, the council will look to understand the reason.  Letters may be distributed to residents explaining that the points are for sharing.  A financial incentive for overstaying may be introduced if necessary.

More than 300 requests have been received and further funding is being sought.
