All four Acton wards to get car club parking bays

Local Liberal Democrat councillors voted to press ahead for a number of car club parking bays to be introduced in several locations in Acton, and the council will soon be consulting residents on the proposed locations.

Car clubs allow local residents to book cars by the hour, day or as long as they want . Members of the club access the cars by using a security PIN code and a swipe card. There are a variety of tariffs to suite both the occasional and more regular car user.. Cars have their designated parking bays for members to collect and return after their booking.

James Finlayson, Director of City Car Club, said: “Car sharing clubs are a relatively new concept that has considerable local benefits. City Car Club already has 15 cars working successfully across the borough and demand is such that we hope to double this number over the next few months. New locations will allow even more local residents and businesses to benefit from being a member and will further contribute to improving the local environment by reducing car ownership and overall car journeys undertaken.”
