Consulation A00349OFF – EV Charging Bay Restrictions – Village Hall, Grvenhurst

PUBLIC NOTICE

CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL PROPOSES TO MAKE AN OFF-STREET PARKING PLACES ORDER RELATING TO ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING BAYS WITHIN CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE

Reason for proposal: The general effect of the Parking Places Order would be to introduce and restrict certain spaces specifically for electric vehicles to park and charge off street. The proposed restrictions would enable electric vehicle users to have access to un-obstructed parking in EV charging bays, which is enforceable.

Effect of the Order: To introduce Electric Vehicle Charging Bays in Off Street Car Parks including the car park behind the Village Hall in Gravenhurst.
CBC plans to install 8 EV charging points (see plan for location details). 4 of the 8 bays will be restricted to EV charging Monday to Saturday between the hours of 8am and 6pm. Parking in these bays will be restricted to 6 hours when plugged in and charging.
Outside of the restricted days and hours, bays will be free and unrestricted, as long as the vehicle is plugged in and charging.
