Authorised the Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment, and the Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources, with the Acting Director, Inclusive Growth and Director of Council Management to accept further government funding up to a limit of £1m, to access emerging and innovative EV charge point solutions that complement the implementation of the EVCP Strategy, consistent with the Council’s Financial Approval Framework;
