Dumfries & Galloway Council has appointed Galliford Try Digital Infrastructure by to lead the design and preconstruction phase for a programme of new ‘Mobility Hubs’ across the region, with electric vehicle (EV) charging points and bicycle racks.
The project has been awarded through the Crown Commercial Service’s construction works and associated services framework and marks a key step forward in the Galliford Try’s strategy to expand into EV charging.
The new hubs are designed to encourage local residents to switch to electric cars or even bikes. The plans is that they will have rapid and dual EV charging bays, smart-enabled bike and e-bike storage, a car sharing club, cycle repair facilities, and a ‘community space’ with real-time journey information.
Andy Duggins, managing director of Galliford Try Digital Infrastructure, said: “This appointment represents a strategic milestone for our business that aligns with our ambition to lead the delivery of digitally connected, sustainable infrastructure across the UK.
“We’re excited to support Dumfries & Galloway Council in achieving their low-carbon goals as well as supporting our wider business objectives around carbon reduction, sustainable delivery, and helping local authorities meet the transport needs of tomorrow.”
