A WORCESTERSHIRE trading estate has further enhanced its green credentials with the introduction of electric car-charging points.
Hartlebury Trading Estate is introducing the charging points across the 200-acre business park to encourage sustainable travel.
The estate, located in the county countryside, already invests in maintaining the local environment, as well as being the site of a major energy-to-waste facility which reduces landfill throughout the county whilst powering hundreds of homes.
Rupert Jeffries of Collingwood Rigby, asset managers for the estate, said: “Green travel has been a topic that both the management team, and a number of our tenants, have been very keen to advance in recent months, and we’re now looking at installing a number of points.
“We’ve always had a commitment to the environment; something that might sound at odds with the county’s largest industrial estate, but something we invest in by way of supporting the local gardening group to enhance the surrounding environment within Hartlebury, and by landscaping and maintaining the estate itself to complement our rural location.”
The first point will be available for use in early 2019.
