Additional electric vehicle charging points are coming to a Kington car park after plans were revised following objections.

The plans were to install new electric charging points in Mill Street, next to existing charging points.

The town council submitted comments last year and said they were concerned that extra charging points there would result in the loss of blue badge parking spaces and the breast cancer screening unit would no longer be able to park there.

Other local residents and businesses also objected

The council suggested an alternative location for the charging points at the other end of the town or perhaps at the Co-op car park and said it would be more appropriate.

At a recent Kington Town Council meeting Chairman of the Chamber of Trade Emma Hancocks said: “There is some positive news about the electric charging points. They will now be installed on the slope of the car park towards the Burton Hotel. The work will probably be done in the next couple of months and the cancer screening unit will be able to visit.” 

Town clerk Liz Kelso said she had also received the revised proposals.
