Pay-as-you-go electric cars are to be launched in Warrington town centre next month, with residents able to hire the vehicles for as long as they wish.
The Warrington Car Club aims to help promote sustainable modes of transport while the population of the town centre is expanding, reports Cheshire Live. With more flats and apartments being built, many without designated car park spaces, the scheme aims to cater to their need for transport by providing an eco-friendly alternative to privately-owned cars.
The car club, commissioned by Warrington Council and managed by Co Wheels, is part of the local authority's wider plan to encourage walking, cycling, public transport use and eco-driving. Two MG ZS Electric Vehicles will be parked at Time Square Car Park, with more being added in different locations if the scheme is popular. The scheme is due to launch in April.
