The new EV charging point on Mount Pleasant Road in #TunbridgeWells has been unveiled and is now in operation. 👍

One side is reserved for taxis to encourage the take-up of e-taxis in the town. The other can be used by all other vehicles. @GregClarkMP

The #CarbonFootprint of @TWellsCouncil has fallen by 43% over the last five years, helped by the solar panel array at the St John's Leisure Centre.

The panels have saved 325 tonnes of CO2 and paid for themselves within 6 years. 👍

Air quality has improved in #TunbridgeWells. In the four years to 2019 (i.e. pre-pandemic) the levels of NO2 fell by:

🔵 20% on Monson Road
🔵 19% on The Pantiles
🔵 16% on London Road, #Southborough
🔵 35% on Maidstone Road, #PaddockWood

Now we've added No Idling signs. 👍

Friends of the Earth ranked #TunbridgeWells as one of the greenest boroughs in the UK and the joint best (with Ashford) in #Kent. Both scored 80%.

We were helped by our high recycling rate and the commitment by @TWellsCouncil to be carbon neutral by 2030.
