Have your say on location of new electric vehicle charging points across Milton Keynes

Up to 1,500 new electric vehicle charging points are to be installed acrossMilton Keynesby 2025 and you can have a say about where they should go.

The city council is seeking feedback for its Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy which will then be used to plan investment into infrastructure around the city.

The strategy looks further than electric vehicles, with options for further investment to be considered for e-bikes, electric scooters and other modes of sustainable transport.

Peoplecan share their views online through the Commonplace platform. The survey is open until March 2024 to all residents as well as frequent visitors to the city.

Cllr Jennifer Wilson-Marklew, Cabinet Member for Climate Action and Sustainability, said: “We’re proud to already be known as the best place to own an electric vehicle and this is something we want to build on.

"If you want to encourage people to make a switch to more sustainable travel, you have to give them the confidence that the infrastructure to support that change is in place.

"We can only achieve this by working with our communities and listening to what they need. I’d strongly encourage residents and visitors to respond to us, so we can work together to deliver an even greener future for our city.”

The Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy is being developed alongside the city’s fifth Local Transport Plan (LTP), which covers proposals for the next 10 to15 years, tying in with core strategies such as Milton Keynes Strategy for 2050 and the New City Plan.
