bosses have decided to rent 330 petrol cars for £1.5 million sparking a question over why they are not using electric cars despite net zero targets.Currently the health and social care staff have been using some vehicles, which are not LEZ compliant.
The Labour councillor said: “The commitment to reduce emissions and net zero commitment are mentioned -yet it is all petrol operated vehicles that appear to be in this contract. And it is up to 23 weeks in terms of the delivery of the vehicles as well. They are not arriving quickly.A council official said more work has to be done to ensure enough infrastructure to charge electric vehicles.
He said: “We had sufficient numbers of vehicles to enable HSCP to enter the low emission zone, ” which came into force in June. The 192 vehicles are to be sold off or disposed. The 209 hired vehicles are being replaced through the new contract.
