Electric car charging ports come to Stanhope this March

THE installation of the new electric vehicle (EV) charging network in Weardale, is about to begin.
Following a competitive tender by Durham County Council, the contract for the works has been awarded to Gronn Kontakt (UK) Ltd who are working with their trusted delivery partner Elmtronics Ltd, based in Consett.
