West Sussex roads earmarked for new electric vehicle chargepoints – see the full list

Sites have been proposed in Adur, Arun, Chichester, Crawley, Horsham, Mid Sussex and Worthing as part of the West Sussex Public Chargepoint Network.

The network is intended to make charging easier for residents who do not have access to a driveway or garage.

One dual-socket chargepoint would be installed at each location, allowing two vehicles to charge at the same time.

Underground infrastructure would also be installed so that additional chargepoints could be added as demand increases, reducing the need for further disruptive work.

West Sussex County Council said there would be no changes to parking arrangements at this stage. Existing restrictions, including permit parking, disabled bays and pay-and-display requirements, would continue to apply.

Any future changes to restrictions around electric vehicle bays would be subject to a separate public traffic order consultation.

The proposed locations are as follows.

Adur: Elm Grove, Lancing; Brook Way, Lancing; Phoenix Crescent, Southwick; Nicolson Drive (The Herons), Shoreham-by-Sea; The Gardens, Southwick; Kingston Broadway, Shoreham-by-Sea; Loose Lane, Sompting; Hammy Lane, Shoreham-by-Sea; Garden Close, Shoreham-by-Sea; Seadown Parade, Bowness Avenue, Sompting; and West Street, Sompting.

Erika Woodhurst-Trueman, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “We want to make it easier for residents to charge electric vehicles close to their homes, especially where people do not have off-road parking.

“These proposals are about putting chargepoints in locations that need them now, while also planning ahead for future demand. I encourage residents to take part in the consultation and tell us what they think of the proposed locations.”

Natasha Davie, cabinet member for environment and climate change, said ‘reliable public charging is important’, if ‘we want more people to feel confident about choosing an electric vehicle’.

She added: “If any residents wish to suggest future possible locations for chargepoints we’d love to hear from them.”

The chargepoints are being delivered in partnership with Connected Kerb – through the UK Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Pilot Programme – with support from district and borough councils.

The consultation opened on Monday, September 21, and will run until Monday, October 19.
