Electric vehicle infrastructure
Barking and Dagenham Council is currently discussing challenges in providing electric vehicle charging for tower block residents.
Barking and Dagenham councillors are currently discussing the challenges of providing electric vehicle (EV) charging points for residents in tower blocks, as highlighted at a council meeting in September 2026. Councillor Julia Williams raised concerns about the disparity between residents with driveways who can charge overnight and those needing off-site charging solutions.
Separately, Havering Council passed a motion in July 2026 calling for greater transparency and reinvestment of Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) revenue, arguing outer London boroughs are disproportionately affected. This follows Camden and Islington councils approving a joint procurement strategy in September 2025 to install over 1,100 new EV charge points, with the contract projected to start in July 2026.
