New Bosch chargers are now available to use free of charge at The Woodhouse by Kippen, Allanwater Brewhouse in Bridge of Allan and Stirling Central Library.
The new chargers are an extension of a scheme already in operation across Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, which is supported by Forth Environment Link, Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs Countryside Trust.
Holly Hunter, Forth Environment Link’s Stirling Active Travel Hub Project Officer said:
These three new locations in and around Stirling, will help us create a comprehensive network of charging points for e-cyclists in Stirlingshire.
This has been made possible with funding from Cycling UK's Shift Fund which aims to get more people cycling for everyday journeys and grant funding from Paths for All's Smarter Choices Smarter Places.
It is hoped the scheme will encourage customer footfall, as well as promoting active travel.
To help promote the new chargers, Forth Environment Link is running a series of led rides this month on the following dates:
- Thursday 17th March - 2-3.30pm from Stirling Central Library
- Tuesday 22nd March - 2-3.30pm from Stirling Central Library
- Thursday 24th March - 2-3.30pm from The Allanwater Brewhouse
- Thursday 31st March - 2-3.30pm from The Allanwater Brewhouse
Projects funded through our SCSP Open Fund continue to support local communities to use buses and community car clubs for longer journeys; walking and cycling for short journeys, and home-working to replace daily commutes.
