Great. There are so few places to charge in Harlow despite the council declaring a climate emergency years ago. I hope this is the start of many others like the water gardens etc. There aren’t many years left to get ready and EV ownership is rising rapidly. Even I’ve changed my shopping habits to go to Tesco which offers a free charge while you shop which costs so little to them but gets people shopping more. It’s a no brainier

Essex council have informed our MP that they have no intention of putting charging points in any village, essentially meaning only town residents get chargers , the rest of us who live outside a town are being ignored ! Why should I be expected to sit in my car at a commercial garage for hours on end paying a higher price than those who can charge a car at home?
