40 new charge points in car parks in Abingdon

44 Replies


Work is underway to install Park and Charge EV Charging hubs in 3 car parks in Abingdon. West St Helen Street will have 12 charge points,

Audlett Drive 16, and Cattle Market 12.

The cost of the installation is not from local council budgets but from grant funding from the Office for Zero Emissions Vehicles. The primary aim is charging hubs for residents without off-street parking as parking is free overnight. These new EV chargers will be bookable overnight, and can be used during the day. Initially this will mean less parking for other vehicles, until more vehicles are electric and the charge points are needed more.

First Lorry Load for Ukraine

Leave a reply


As comments have suggested, Polski Sklep Żubr Abingdon are temporarily overloaded with donations for Ukraine.

R&R have a cellar full. So they have the first lorry load to be taken by a Polish lorry to the Polish / Ukraine border.

There are other ways to donate financially from Ukrainian to Polish Charities to UK Charities. UK charities have launched the DEC humanitarian appeal. The UK Government will match donations from the public pound-for-pound up to £20 million.

The team who organise the Local Excellence Market have been invited to take part in a large event at Abingdon Airfield on 4th June. The event will be a lot more than a market. See https://www.abingdoneventspartnership.co.uk/jubilee-market.

The Town Council are also planning events to celebrate the Queen’s 70th anniversary from Wednesday 1 June to Sunday 5 June 2022 at Rye Farm Meadows in Abingdon.

I don’t know yet when they have the bun throwing.
