Brent council has erected its first electric vehicle charge point in the borough as it looks to tackle poor air quality.
Dudley Road is the home to the first of 33 charge points for electric cars in the area as the council aims to set them up in 24 locations.
Cabinet Member for Environment, Councilor Eleanor Southwood, said: “This is a really proactive step forward in the move towards greener energy sources in the borough.
“We want to make it easier and more convenient for existing owners of electric vehicles in the borough and create the infrastructure so that more people are able to switch to electric vehicles in the future.
“Poor air quality is one of the biggest issues facing London and we will work hard to find innovative ways to improve air quality in Brent.
"Everyone has a part to play when it comes to reducing air pollution and we will continue to work with residents, schools and businesses to improve things in all parts of the borough.”
