Electric chargepoints at two sites have been removed due to the age of the equipment.

Chargepoints at the Commercial Way (Swansgate Shopping Centre) multi-storey car park in Wellingborough and Kettering Crematorium have been removed, by an external supplier, as they no longer meet requirements.

The nearest charging points for the multi-storey car park are on Doddington Road, Castle Road and Broad Green, with a rapid charger on Church Street. Alternative charging points can also be located using ZapMap.

Additionally, legacy chargepoints at five other council-owned car parks will be replaced later this year by Connected Kerb. This includes those in Parkland Gateway (Westcott Way) and the station car park in Corby, plus Commercial Road, London Road and School Lane car parks in Kettering.
