Decisions: 1. That the current moratorium on on-street charging be modified to permit a limited trial of on-street home charging. 2. That the Director of Environment and Regeneration be delegated authority to agree the location and details concerning any pilot. 3. That Officers continue discussions with Welsh Government through Transport for Wales and the WLGA to ensure a consistent approach across Wales. 4. That prior to the implementation of a pilot, a report including location details and cost be brought to Environment Regeneration and Streetscene Services Committee for scrutiny. Reason for Decisions: Given the uptake of electric vehicles which is likely to accelerate as the date for the EV mandate draws closer, and the increased requests from residents for home on-street charging, the option to undertake an initial limited local trial, pending positive feedback from existing trials underway elsewhere, will allow the opportunity to gain a first-hand understanding of any issues which may arise. This would be undertaken in conjunction with continuing to liaise with Transport for Wales and Welsh Government to pursue guidance and ensure a consistent approach across Wales. A licenced trial will, given the legal implications for the Authority with the potential safety issues arising from residents trailing a cable across the highway, aim to reduce the likelihood of unprotected and unmonitored cable trailing. Implementation of Decisions: The decisions will be implemented after the three day call in period.

The policy for the Use of Artificial Grass on Council owned/managed land as presented in Appendix 2 to the circulated report, be agreed. 2.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
