Any ideas for electric car charging points?

We have just had the following email from the Council's Transport Policy Manager asking people for good ideas for charging points for electric vehicles. Three are going in across Lambeth - and there is funding for more.

Anybody got any good suggestions? Let us know or contact Dawn Haines from Lambeth Council on the email below.

Dear Councillors,

As you may be aware the Mayor of London recently launched an Electric Vehicle Plan to encourage the use of electric vehicles in London. In line with this Lambeth have been given funding to implement electric vehicle charging points in the borough. We are very close to launching three of these in the next two months in Pulross Road, Upper Ground and Belvedere Road.

Transport for London have now provided us with additional funding to add further points in Lambeth. We are now looking at finding new locations to put these on the highway. Each charging point requires the conversion of one car park bay. Mindful that we are competing with car clubs, cycle hire sites and other schemes we are trying to locate these in areas where there will be high use. However the infancy of electric vehicles means that it is difficult to judge where these will be.

Therefore, if you have any suggestions for potential sites, or have received any requests from residents or businesses about electric vehicles please let me know.

Regards,

Dawn Haines, Transport Policy Manager
