PEOPLE in Hambleton can have a free charging point for electric cars installed at their homes, thanks to a joint project between the district council and the Yorkshire Energy Partnership.

The Government-funded “Electric Hambleton” scheme is available until July 30, on a first come, first served basis, for any home with off-street parking.

The charging points are the size of a shoe box, and could “future-proof” homes in case residents decide to buy an electric car in the future.

For information contact Yorkshire Energy Partnership on 01904 545020 quoting "Electric Hambleton".
