You are all welcome to attend the Westminster Park Residents’ Association’s AGM at Westminster Park Community Centre.

We will report on WPRA’s activities in the past year and elect Committee Officers and members. We currently have three vacancies on our committee, so please consider joining us to make a difference to our neighbourhood.

It is also a good opportunity for residents to meet committee members, make suggestions for improvements and raise matters of concern.

CWaC is seeking views on Electric Vehicle (EV) charging within the borough. Please see (attached) summary version of the consultation document and for completion of the consultation online: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/CWAC-EVconsultation/ or email your views to: transportstrategy@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk

The deadline is Wednesday, 15^th March 2023

Having declared a Climate Emergency in 2019 uptake of EVs has grown rapidly and there are increasing requests from communities for CWaC to provide more charging facilities. Making it easier to change to EV is part of the Climate Emergency Response Plan, which first promote active travel – walking cycling and wheeling – or public transport, followed by a transition to zero-emission vehicles, where car-travel is unavoidable.

The EV charging strategy sets out how CWaC and its partners will support the transition to EV within this framework by providing comprehensive, accessible and efficient charging infrastructure.

Potential locations for charging EV include key destinations – such as Chester city-centre, supermarkets and restaurants, plus along routes across the wider borough, as well as at residents’ homes. Delivering the level of charging infrastructure required to meet future demand will require close partnership working between CWaC and private operators.

The adoption of local EV charging infrastructure will support submissions to the Government’s ‘Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund’ which is expected to be launched soon.
