BEST CHARGE POINT FAIL
BARROW IN FURNESS COUNCIL
As the number of electric vehicles on UK roads grows by record numbers each year, everyone seems to agree that we need more public charge points to be installed across the country, so that drivers are always within easy access of a plug to juice their car. But is there a limit to how widespread they should be?
Barrow-in-Furness borough council was criticised earlier this year for installing a new electric charge point close to graves at the Thorncliffe cemetery and crematorium in the Cumbrian town, a move criticised by one local to journalists as “downright disrespectful”.
