The Issue

Calling all Islington Wharf & Lockgate Mews residents with parking. With the UK Government’s impending ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, it’s crucial that we have the infrastructure in place to support this transition effectively. As residents who own parking spaces in this car park, we face the reality that without the installation of EV chargepoints, our valued parking spaces will soon become increasingly impractical to use.

Many of us are experiencing changes to employer car schemes that exclusively permit the use of electric vehicles. This shift requires urgent adaptation in our local amenities. The absence of EV charging infrastructure poses not only an inconvenience but a significant barrier for residents striving to embrace more sustainable transport solutions.

There is a notable opportunity here: the UK Government offers grants covering up to 70% of the cost of installing such infrastructure. This financial support significantly reduces the burden, making it a practical and feasible initiative that Islington Wharf should consider without delay.

The solution is clear and actionable. Islington Wharf Management needs to either install these EV chargepoints or grant permission to residents to do so. This proactive step will ensure our community is not left behind in the transition to greener transport.

Failing to act compromises our ability to make environmentally conscious decisions and unfairly penalises those who have already begun the transition to electric vehicles. We need a commitment to progress, not just for the benefit of current residents, but also as a message to future residents who expect modern, sustainable living.

Join us in urging the management at Islington Wharf to take immediate action. By signing this petition, you are supporting an initiative that not only enhances our community’s infrastructure but also aligns with broader environmental goals. Let’s share our vision for a sustainable future and demand access to the essential facilities that can make this vision a reality.
