EV Charging in Wealden Car Parks

Please find attached a media release about charging points for electric vehicles in Wealden car parks. This was one of the top 3 issues raised in our survey in 2021.

"Electric Vehicle charging points are due to be installed in Wealden District Council car parks in the coming months.

Feasibility work has been underway at a number of car parks across the Wealden district by the council’s chosen provider, Connected Kerb, an electric vehicle charging contractor.

As part of phase one, Connected Kerb is currently reviewing 10 council owned and operated car parks for charging feasibility with the potential to expand to an additional 22 sites throughout Wealden in subsequent phases.

The first phase of locations includes Lower Road, Forest Row; The Willows, Alfriston; Croft Road, Crowborough; Mill Road, Heathfield; Luxford Road, Uckfield; North Road, Pevensey Bay; Greyhound, Wadhurst: and Horse Fields, East Dean.

Also included in this first phase are bays in the Vicarage Lane car park in Hailsham and bays in the South Road car park, also in Hailsham.

The installations are part of the council's ongoing efforts to support the transition to low carbon transport and to improve local air quality. ​The aspiration is that all residents who drive electric vehicles (EVs), or are considering making the switch, have convenient access to EV charging.​"
