About: Electric vehicle charging capabilities at our Hollingdean depot have been transformed by a £392,000 investment from the Carbon Neutral Fund.

Councillor Steve Davis, the councillor leading on transport, said: “By expanding the electric vehicle charging infrastructure at our Hollingdean depot, we’re able to cut emissions which in turn reduces the environmental impact of the council’s fleet.

“And adding solar panels to the workshop roof means we can generate our own sustainable energy to help power the Cityclean fleet.

Connection to the Biosphere and its principles: These changes will help Brighton & Hove achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 while creating a healthier city with cleaner air for the benefit of all communities.
