NECA to support bus electrification initiative in North East England
NE Council leaders have now signed a £17.6 million investment to pay for 95 emissions-free buses. NECA also approved plans to spend £2.1 million on 92 electric vehicle charging points.
“This is only a fraction of the agenda that we want to put forward, only a fraction of implementing the manifesto that the mayor was elected on,” said Coun Gannon, deputy to the mayor Kim McGuinness, adding: “They are here in front of us today by necessity because the contracts need to be approved. I can’t wait for next month and for the rest of the agenda so that we can get on and implement that manifesto.”
