Survey on electric car hire scheme to close this weekend

People in Bradford on Avon and the surrounding area are being asked for their views on an electric car hire scheme that could start up in the town – which is set to come to a close on Sunday, 11 December 2022.

Wiltshire Council and Bradford on Avon Town Council are asking the town’s residents, businesses and community organisations for their thoughts on an electric car club, along with bike hanger storage facilities, in the town.

The two councils are working in partnership with electric car provider Co-Cars to establish local demand, and if enough people are interested it could enable affordable access to electric cars for everyone in Bradford on Avon, while also supporting the shift to zero carbon transport.

The electric car club would see cars, which are bookable from half an hour, located around the town. Members would have access to electric cars without having to own one, helping people to save money while reducing congestion and improving air quality.

The short online survey also asks people’s views on new ‘bike hangar’ cycling storage facilities in the town.

The proposal for Bradford on Avon follows a similar scheme in Salisbury.

To take part in the survey, people should go to https://bit.ly/ElectricBoA; or to find out more about Co-Cars, people should go to www.co-cars.co.uk.
