The gradual switch to electric vehicles is picking up speed in Dumfries and Galloway as a raft of new charging points are to be installed across the region.
More than £1m has already been spent on electric charging units, and more cash has been made available to introduce others in Kirkcudbright, Dalbeattie, Lockerbie, Creetown, New Galloway, Dumfries, Moffat, and St John’s Town of Dalry.
It was confirmed at the council’s communities committee last week that the charging points will be put in place in these locations by the end of this financial year.
