Shares are being made available for an electric car charging point company which could bring more stations to the county.
In all £130,000 of investment shares are being offered in Charge My Street, which will see 100 new charging points set up in Cumbria and Lancashire.
The aim is for drivers to switch from diesel and petrol cars to electric vehicles as well as to make electric charge points available to rural communities.
Last year, one of the company’s charging points was set up in Alston.
Daniel Heery, director of Charge My Street, said: “This is a particular issue where people do not have their own driveways or are in rented accommodation, and in rural areas that may be a lower priority for commercial charge point providers.”
The minimum investment that can be made is £100.
The offer closes on March 31.
