There are concerns that there are a lack of Electric Vehicle charging points on the Yorkshire Coast.
This summer is likely to see an increased demand for Electric Vehicle charging points along the Yorkshire Coast as more tourists visit the area with their electric cars.
Both Scarborough and Bridlington have charging points but in towns like Filey, there are no points available for the public.
North Yorkshire Councillor for Filey, Sam Cross, has shared his concern at the lack of facilities available in Filey.
In response to the concern, North Yorkshire Councillor Greg White, who is the Executive Member For the Environment, has confirmed that there is a plan in place to make sure that there are enough charging points available.
A £450,000 project is underway to install 48 charging points in former Scarborough Borough Council car parks, but only 3 of those will be in Filey.
The EV-charging points will be located across 18 council car parks with 27 charge points in Scarborough, 12 in Whitby, three in Filey, and two each in Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes and Runswick Bay.
The project go the go-ahead last October and is the biggest roll out of electric vehicle chargers anywhere in North Yorkshire.
The chargers will be installed and maintained by the North Yorkshire Council’s project partner Connected Kerb which has a similar scheme up and running in the Ryedale district.
