Decision details

Resolved that:

(a)       the Motion to designate all current and future electric vehicle charging points as ‘EV only’ parking spaces is not taken forward at this time in respect of on-street locations.

(b)       an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) should be implemented at a trial site where an on-street chargepoint has been more frequently used. The exact terms of the restriction will need to be discussed informally with Members prior to making the Order, as will the implications of the proposed order for the appearance, size and number of additional signs that are required. The success, or otherwise of this ETRO will inform future decisions as to when, where and how to roll out EV-only parking bays more widely.

(c)       unless local circumstances dictate otherwise, all chargepoints in public car parks operated by West Berkshire Council will have their own designated and enforceable parking bay.

This decision is eligible to be ‘called-in’.  However, if the decision has not been ‘called-in’ by 5.00pm on 24 July 2020, then it will be implemented.
