Scam text and WhatsApp messages

We're aware of scam messages being sent to some residents, asking for parking fines to be paid and giving deadlines to pay by. We do not request payment by text message or WhatsApp. You can report scam messages to the National Cyber Security Centre.

Further guidance on installing a charge point at home

Charging at homes without off-street parking

Currently residents who do not have off-street parking within their property are not able to install an EV-charger in their home.

We do not currently allow residents to trail cables across the footway or public highway.

Reviewing the options to allow installation in future

The Government have recently released updated guidance which is supported by the EV Pavement Channels Grant.

We're now reviewing our options for how we can allow installation of in-pavement cable channels in future.
