Going Green

Last week, Westminster Council launched the first free on-street charging points for electric cars on the streets of the West End.

The move, which is a pilot to test demand for charging, is another step in creating a viable support network for environmentally-friendly cars, and highlights how Conservative councils are actually making real progress in developing green policies.

Westminster already offers 48 free car charging points in 13 council-run car parks across the city. We were also one of the first councils to introduce a range of financial incentives for electrical vehicles, including free parking at meters and discounted residents parking.
