Sheffield City Council was awarded £487,000 to install 20 chargepoints, in 10 charging units, to be located at seven key locations across Sheffield city area. We expect this to support the introduction of approximately 45 ultra-low emission Hackney Carriages and around 200 ultra-low emission private hire vehicles to the city. The competition was UK wide, and we have been able to fund all projects submitted to the competition in full. We did not receive a bid covering Barnsley.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 19/02/2019 14:10:30 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
