Electric vehicles on the agenda
COUNCILS from across Yorkshire are to meet in Rotherham to discuss how to increase use of electric powered vehicles.
A new collective approach by councils throughout Yorkshire and the Humber may see them using joint funding and purchasing power to try to introduce more delivery of services with electric vehicles.
Coun Roger Stone, leader of Rotherham Council and vice chair of Local Government Yorkshire and Humber, said: ”Devising innovative and different ways of working has been one of the driving forces of local government in Yorkshire and Humber for many years. Protecting the environment is also one of our key priorities. Local Authorities have a major part to play in ensuring that our services are delivered in ways that are not only best for the enviroment but are cost effective for our citizens.
”Councils across Yorkshire and Humber are facing unprecedented cuts to budgets. Accessing European funding for projects such as these help us develop effective new ways of working while ensuring that the Local Authority services people value and need are protected”.
