Unfair charges?

Electric vehicles
Camden is busy trying to get people to use electric cars/vehicles and is currently offering free trials to businesses in the Borough. But what about residents? If you’re lucky enough to have a driveway or a crossover and an off- street parking space by your house then you can charge your car on your own electricity with no trouble. But, if like lots of us in West Hampstead you live in terraced houses or big blocks of flats, you can’t do that. And woe betide you if you try and run a cable across the pavement – a Health & Safety inspector will be down on you like a ton of bricks. You have to go to the nearest on street “charging point” (which may not be very near as there are only 20 across Camden,) hope it’s free, leave your car there for three hours while you kill time waiting for it. Not very customer friendly! We think Camden needs to have a rethink on this.
