Crazy!
A Labour council has been criticised for approving the construction of an “unsafe” electric bus garage underneath high-rise flats.
Barnet council gave the go-ahead to a planned redevelopment of Edgware town centre, in north-west London, that would see up to 190 electric buses being recharged underneath large residential tower blocks.
Campaigners called the plans “unsafe” and warned that any underground fires could potentially place thousands of lives at risk.
“Nine of the [planned] tower blocks are structurally linked to the underground electric bus garage,” said Anuta Zack, of the Save Our Edgware campaign group.
Full story here.
There have already been two recorded electric bus fires in garages, at Potters Bar in 2022 and Putney last year.
