Residents To Have Their Say On EV Charge Point Locations In Adur And Worthing

Monday, 17 July 2023 17:08

West Sussex County Council is leading a scheme to introduce electric vehicle (EV) charge points across Adur and Worthing to encourage more people to switch to more sustainable travel.

And residents can have their say on where they would like to see the new charge points in the county.

Around 1,500 requests for charge points in the county have already been received and the feedback generated from the public will help establish where the final locations are situated.

So far the locations suggested in Adur are Connaught Avenue, Eastern Avenue and John Street in Shoreham, which will have three charge points at each potential site.

In Worthing the 30 proposed locations are:

Chester Avenue, Crescent Road (Amelia House), St Botolph’s Rd (Aspen Court), Brighton Road, Downview Road, Elm Grove, Galsworthy Road, Grand Avenue, Wordsworth Rd (Grasmere Court), Gratwicke Road, Ham Road, Lyndhurst Road, Manor Court, Nelson Road, Park Road, Queen Street, Richmond Road, Ripley Road, St George's Road, Sandwich Road, Tennyson Rd (Sonnet Court), Stoke Abbott Road, West Parade and Westbrooke, as well as two locations in each of Bath Road, Lansdowne Road and Goring Road, which would also have three charge points at each potential site.

Residents can suggest a location or find out more about the proposals by visiting the Connected Kerb website at www.connectedkerb.com/westsussexresidents.

All seven district and borough councils in West Sussex, as well as the county council, have signed a contract with Connected Kerb to install and maintain the new charge points across the county.

More than 170 charge points have already been installed in the county, with works on an additional 250 charge points in progress on residential streets and in car parks. The project is fully funded by the government and Connected Kerb, meaning there is no cost to Adur & Worthing Councils.
