Gateshead Council: Support for Active Travel
Support for Active Travel - E2 and E7
EV charging posts - This intervention will provide the infrastructure for up to four publicly accessible electric vehicle charging posts. These posts will be accessible to residents and businesses to charge their electric vehicles at a convenient time. It is hoped these posts can support more residents and businesses to invest in electric vehicles, which will help to reduced tail pipe emissions across Gateshead.
Mobility hub - This intervention will see the introduction of a mobility hub in Birtley Library providing walking, cycling and public transport advice as well as bike rental and repair, led rides and walks and information on walking and cycling routes.
Career Travel - This intervention sees public transport passes being distributed to colleagues and to a summer training scheme.
Business Grants - This intervention provides small grants to local businesses to implement sustainable transport facilities.
Small infrastructure projects - This intervention provides cycle storage to businesses, voluntary groups and charities.
