Nine new electric vehicle (EV) charging points have gone live in the first phase of Hammersmith & Fulham’s (H&F) new EV drive.
The areas which are now equipped with functional EV charging points include: Du Cane Road, Gayford Road, Brook Green, Standish Road, Black's Road, Wolverton Gardens, Thaxton Road, Farm Lane and Parson's Green.
In addition, ten more charging stations are in the pipeline.
The introduction of new charging bays is part of H&F Council’s drive to transform the borough by improving air quality and driving down harmful emissions.
Councillor Wesley Harcourt, H&F Council’s cabinet member for Environment, Transport and Residents' Services, said: “As more residents take up use of greener vehicles we are determined to provide a comprehensive network of charging bays to make using them easy and encourage further uptake. We aim to make H&F a much healthier and greener borough, and this is an example of how we are working with residents to do that.
"More residents using electric cars will help to reduce CO2, NOx and particulate matter emissions that have detrimental effects on health and the environment."
