Free car charging in cash strapped Woking

Available for over a year

Councillors were told of the irony at an Overview and Scrutiny committee meeting on 20th November. Local Democracy Reporter in Surrey, Chris Caulfield explains. Since the figure of £149k was issued to councillors at the meeting, Woking Borough Council has issued this statement..."unrestricted electric vehicle [EV} charging in the Red Car Park costs an estimated £1,500 a month. The Council is installing software that will allow a tariff to be applied and will be disabling the EV charge points whilst this is undertaken. We would like to apologise for the short-term inconvenience this will cause to car park users.” Photo Credit: Getty images
