More electric vehicle charging points
to be installed in Redbridge in 2024
Local student receives bursary from
Amazon Future Engineer programme
More fast chargers for electric vehicles will
be installed across Redbridge as part of a
project with Uber and infrastructure provider
Believ. “The project is part of the borough’s
bid to support local people to adopt more
sustainable and greener travel choices,
including making the switch from petrol or
diesel to electric vehicles,” said a spokesperson
for the council. A total of 174 new charging
points will be created in 87 locations around
the borough – including South Woodford –
with installation to begin in early 2024.
A student from Woodford Green has been
awarded a £20,000 bursary by the Amazon
Future Engineer programme. Leah-Megan Chi
– who attended Trinity Catholic High School
before starting a computer science degree at
the University of Leeds in October – was one
of 30 women in the UK to receive the funding
in 2023. “I was really happy when I read the
email. I told everyone in the house and then
recorded their reaction. It means a lot to me;
I can focus on my education without worrying
too much about expenses,” said Leah-Megan.
