More waste of taxpayers’ money!

A fleet of e-cargo bikes which Norwich businesses can use to make deliveries – and cut emissions – will be made available in the summer.

Norfolk County Council has successfully applied for £170,000 to provide 10 vehicles, as part of efforts to cut pollution in the city centre.

Businesses will be able to borrow the e-cargo bikes – electrically assisted bicycles, tricycles or quadricycles which can carry cargo – to deliver packages to homes and other business premises.

I cannot see much interest in e-cargo bikes anyway, as their carrying capacity is strictly limited, and speeds are low. After all, you still have to pedal, so distances will be small.

But the Green councillor, who looks like he should still be in school, is delighted!
