Sefton Council Highway Authority cannot, currently support the installation of privately owned electric vehicle charge points on, adjacent to, or over, the public highway.
We are committed to enabling a comprehensive public charging network with a good geographical spread across Sefton. However, our focus will be on areas where residents cannot make the switch to electric vehicles without access to a public network, such as people without access to off-road parking.
The council are currently developing an Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy, setting out an approach to supporting the delivery of an appropriate charging infrastructure across the borough. This will concentrate on providing a public network across our community spaces and car parks.
