An electric car owner has to charge his vehicle through his first-floor window after being told to remove a charging point he installed himself.
Joe Keating, who rents a flat in Falinge, Rochdale bought an electric BMW in an effort to cut carbon emissions and fuel costs and installed a charging point next to his parking space.
Not long after, however, he received a letter from managing agents Stevenson Whyte telling him to remove the power-point - a move which he feels is “heavy handed” and shows a reluctance to support the “green agenda”.
