Decision details
Acceptance of Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Pilot Grant
Decision Maker: Cabinet member Infrastructure and transport
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To approve the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enable Herefordshire Council to work alongside five Local Authorities as part of a consortium supported by Midlands Connect.
Decision:
That:
a) Herefordshire Council enters into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to participate in the consortium;
b) Herefordshire Council takes part in an procurement process led by Lincolnshire County Council seeking a delivery partner for the operation and expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging point network across the five local authority areas;
c) The Interim Service Director Highways and Transport is authorised to sign the Memorandum of Understanding and contract award; and is authorised to take all operational decisions necessary to implement the above.
Alternative options considered:
Not to take part in the consortium bid or benefit from grant funding. This was rejected as the grant funding will support the delivery of on-street charge point locations across Herefordshire. The project will help to deliver on street chargepoint provision that otherwise may not be realised or would require other sources of (unidentified) capital investment.
