Talks for making Birmingham's **vehicles more environmentally** friendly have begun today at the Birmingham City Council.

Speaking at the Council meeting today, Councillor Stewart Stacey discussed the **Electric Vehicle (EV) Charge Point Network Development Programme.**

He suggested that electric charging points be made available to not only taxis and hire cars but also to the general public.

The talks come after the government [published a report](https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment%5Fdata/file/634168/air-quality-consult-sum-resp.pdf?ref=birminghameastside.co.uk) on tackling nitrogen dioxide  
concentrations in cities and towns across the United Kingdom in July 2017.

Clean Streets, Recycling and Environment **councillor Lisa Trickett** had this to say about imposing charges on cars that do not comply with environment regulations:

She also urged that such charging points must be distributed evenly to ensure flexibility.
