Response details:

Dear Cllr Stephanos Ioannou,

Thank you for the enquiry,

I can confirm that the installation of the charger at The Rye is part of a 1000 charger programme roll-out.

The supplier, Char.gy, understands that some locations will have non-EV’s parked in front of them. We understand this can be frustrating for the resident wanting to charge. As we are only in the early phases of delivery, more chargers will appear locally. I would encourage the resident to suggest a location that is convenient for them using the Suggest a lamp column location link – https://letstalk.enfield.gov.uk/ev-charging/surveys/request-an-ev-charger

Alternatively the resident may be interested in applying for a pavement channel, the cost of which is currently subsided. More information can be found here – https://www.enfield.gov.uk/services/roads-and-transport/footway-channel-for-electric-vehicle-charging-on-the-roadside
