Report by Interim Corporate Director Communities (CMDE7).

Provision of on-street charging apparatus for electric vehicles is reviewed in response to development proposals, assessments of demand carried out by officers and requests received from external bodies. Current proposals for charging points are delivered under the Go Ultra Low Oxford (GULO) strand of projects, which is funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles and Oxford City Council and delivered in partnership with Oxfordshire County Council. T-GULO provides rapid charging for the taxi trade and O-GULO provides fast charging for car clubs and residents without access to off-street parking. The charge points will be funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and Oxford City Council, with match funding contributions from EB Charging Lt and Franklin, under a revenue share agreement to cover operational cost.

The Cabinet Member for Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposals as advertised for electric charging points for vehicles with the exception of the proposal for Barns Road, which it is recommended should not proceed in the light of the objections received.

Approved
