Successfully quashed a proposed road traffic order in 2020 against the installation of an electric charging point outside my house. I now own an electric car but the council refuses to install one because of a prior quashing order actioned by me. (self.LegalAdviceUK)
Undeleted from Reddit from user "TeslaModelUK":
Back in 2020, I successfully quashed a proposed road traffic order that would have allowed the installation of an electric charging point - I argued that the local authority didn't meet the requirement of providing sufficient notice in the local gazette and that a reduction in double yellow lines would cause risk to pedestrians and the consultation process was procedurally unfair
Fast forward to today, and I am now an owner of an electric car. However, I've hit a roadblock as the council is now refusing to install the charging point due to the quashing order I had initiated. They are refusing to my road on the waiting list, despite demand from the local residents.
I'd like there to be an electric charging point - my house isn't suitable for off-street electric charging. Can I get the council to install one?
And the follow up comment which was also undeleted:
at the time i didn't want the resident parking spot that was directly outside my house to be changed - only resident cars with EVs would be allowed meaning I would have to have had parked 3 metres further away from my house - so I looked up the legislation and found the two faults the council failed on to do - consult fairly and consider health and safety risk to pedestrians - but now that i have an electric car, I kind of need a charging point-the only place I can charge my car is in the high street and at work.
