Local locations for a network of electric vehicle charge points set to be installed across Surrey have been proposed.

So I've looked at the map, I've looked at the list, and I can tell you that the government has a set target of 300,000 public charge points across the country in the next seven years. And the locations proposed have been selected because someone has requested one in a certain area. In fact, I highlighted that process a few months ago here on the show.

And I explained how to ask for one of those charging points near where you live. Obviously, it has to be a public place, not just for you, but for other people. But of course, it would be really handy for you, maybe where you live, work, exercise, that kind of thing. Or because there was no nearby access to a charge point.

And an interactive map of the current proposed locations is available on the Connected Curb website. And requests can still be made. More locations will be added. But locally in the Planet Rygate area at the moment, Rygate, Redhill, Merston, Buckland, Betchworth, Brockham, RH1, 2 and 3. A little bit of 6 as well.

In Hawley, Chestnut Road, White Bushes, Wimborne Avenue, Dover's Green Castle Drive there and also outside the shops on the parade at Woodhatch. Also on Stockton Road, RH2, Blackborough Road and Holmesdale Road as well. Reigate and Banstead has become a refill destination and is pledging to help turn the tide on plastic pollution.

Yeah, by downloading the free refill app, you'll be able to easily tap into a network of places where you can refill. So essentially you can top up a water bottle or you can get a coffee in a reusable cup or even go shopping with less packaging. Refill makes going plastic free easier. If you want details on links or any of these, email me at hello at theplanetrigatepodcast.com.

We've got an episode from episode 44 now. Remember I told you about Martin Pitchley, a local driving instructor, saying that the roads near the test centre of the aerodrome were too fast, verges were too overgrown, signs were missing or obscured, there were poor road markings, and he said altogether it's not only unsafe, but also pretty unfair on those new drivers being examined.

As I say, I've got an update. Martin wrote to me saying... I had several developments today which I can only think that your podcast certainly helped happen. Martin, really appreciate that. Thank you. We have a little bit of sway. I've been speaking to several counsellors this week, one on the phone and a couple of others eye to eye, face to face as well.

And Martin goes on, I've been invited to attend a meeting this Friday morning. So this is Friday the 2nd of August, that is, with an official from Reigate Council. And I also received another email this afternoon which said in part, Thank you for the detailed information in the letter and the photos provided.
