Breckland 2035 Sustainability Strategy

Breckland Council is working in association with Highways England, Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils, and six local authorities in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex on an initiative to install new charging points along key roads in East Anglia. This will support Government initiatives to increase the number of electric vehicles (EV) and reduce the sale and use of conventional petrol and diesel cars in the UK. 

The rapid chargers can charge two cars at a time and substantially recharge the battery of an EV in just 30 minutes. Customers will be able to pay via contactless debit/credit card or use their existing Swarco E-Connect network account.

We currently have four rapid charging points in the following Breckland car parks:

• Swaffham - Pedlars Car Park Market Place, PE37 7AB
• Attleborough - Queens Square Car Park, Queens Square, NR17 2AE
• Thetford - Pike Lane Car Park, Pike Lane, IP24 2DR
• Dereham - Cowper Road Car Park, Cowper Road, NR19 2DA

You are able toview all car electric charging points in the UK on the Zap-Maps website (opens new window).
