BARNSLEY has the fewest number of electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging points in South Yorkshire.
The figures show there are just nine public charging points in Barnsley, compared with 11 in Rotherham, 20 in Doncaster and 27 in Sheffield.
Barnsley Council’s executive director Matthew Gladstone said: “We are developing an approach to provide improved electric vehicle charging which is both open to the public to use and in suitable locations.”
This includes 20 chargers being installed in the Glass Works and also using funding from housing developers to provide chargers and a funding bid for 40 more across the borough.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
