Decision details

Greater Manchester’s Clean Air Plan – Marking of Electric Vehicle Charging Bays

Decision Maker: Deputy Chief Executive -

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

TfGM are proposing a standard for GM owned assets that would enable easy identification of bays for EV vehicles and consistency across Greater Manchester. Bay with “ELECTRIC VEHICLES ONLY” in white and small green bar at the head of the bay, see Appendix One for visual representation.
TfGM are seeking approval from Oldham Council and the other 9 Greater Manchester Authorities to adopt this standard for EV bays for GM owned assets. This approval is not looking to alter the size of existing bays and where a build out is required between 2 bays to place the charging point an additional bay will be required, as advised at the design stage.

Decision:

RESOLVED - That: the Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Culture and Deputy Chief Executive (People and Place) approve adopting the standard bay markings of “ELECTRIC VEHICLES ONLY” in white and small green bar at the head of the bay, as per Appendix One.

Reasons for the decision:

Option 1 - Not to approve adopting the standard bay markings of “ELECTRIC VEHICLES ONLY” in white and small green bar at the head of the bay, as per Appendix One.
Option 2 - To approve adopting the standard bay markings of “ELECTRIC VEHICLES ONLY” in white and small green bar at the head of the bay, as per Appendix One.
