“It was great to meet the team and try out the cars. They’re all shiny new electric vehicles — perfect for people who need to get around but don’t want to buy their own car. I’m proud to be part of the group that helped fund this.”
Katy Bush, who helps run the project as Environment Strategy Project Manager, added:

Plug in Suffolk is running an 18-month trial of the Car Clubs. If you’re curious or want to try one out, visit the Co Wheels website.
