Decision:
RESOLVED:

· To note the receipt of £0.903 million in grant from the Government’s On-street Residential Charge-point Scheme.

Minutes:
The Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Climate Change, Environment and Transport introduced the report which, following Shropshire Council receiving one of the largest grant awards from the Government’s On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS) 2022-23, sought authority from Cabinet to enter into the contract for the installation work as a matter of urgency. If approved, this would result in an additional 270 electric vehicle charge points being installed in 40 locations across Shropshire, bringing the total to 320 EV chargers across the county.
Thanks were given to Jason Hughes and Adrian Cooper for securing the grant.
It was confirmed that the choice of locations for the charging points was data driven.
It was questioned as to whether charging points would be considered for park and ride sites. Members were reminded that this report focussed on charging points for residents without off-street parking but that this was an ambition in the future for installing points in all car parks and park and ride facilities.
