24. Notice of Motion proposed by Alderman Stewart, seconded by Councillor Kane from Council Meeting held Tuesday 5th August 2025

That this council will assess the need for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points across the Borough. This review will consider the growing number of residents who own or are considering owning electric vehicles, as well as the needs of tourists visiting the area who may hire electric cars. It will also address the potential for charging points at leisure centres, community halls, and civic buildings, such as the Cloonavin and Riada House. The motion further aims to evaluate the Council's fleet requirements and the infrastructure needed at depots to support a transition to zero-emission vehicles, in line with government targets. Additionally, the review will focus on the availability of charging stations in car parks, both for short- and long-stay parking, and those located near popular tourist destinations. The motion aims to ensure that the Borough is equipped to meet the future demand for electric vehicle infrastructure and comply with national environmental goals.
