Liberal Democrat — Eastbourne

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 January 2026

Debate

Net Zero: Local Authorities

Contribution

Happy new year to you, Mr Speaker, and to the Minister. Eastbournians without driveways—such as Laurain on Winchcombe Road—are committed to acquiring an electric vehicle in order to reduce their emissions, but they are being let down by Conservative-run East Sussex county council, which has failed to invest in pavement gulleys to allow safe cross-street electric vehicle charging. Will the Minister and her colleagues at MHCLG urge the council to follow the lead of Lib Dem-run Oxfordshire county council and pilot a cross-pavement electric vehicle charging scheme?
