The Department for Infrastructure has installed an additional Electric Car Charging Bay in Bangor, Co Down.

North Down Alliance Councillor Andrew Muir has been campaigning for the additional bay at Quay Street for over a year.

Mr Muir said: "Despite the request being initially denied, I continued to push for this and am delighted to see two dedicated eCar Parking Bays now provided.

"With the Quay Street eCar charging point already offering ability to charge two vehicles at once but only one dedicated eCar Parking Bay previously provided, the frustration of users was obvious with many previously unable to charge up due to the other bays being occupied by conventional vehicles. Through the dogged determination of the users concerned to outline the economic and environmental benefits involved together we have achieved a small but important step towards a greener and cleaner future. I look forward to exploring other opportunities to boost eCar Charger provision across the Borough."
