Lyme Regis town councillor and Green Party member Belinda Bawden wants a car club trial for Lyme Regis. Belinda says “If you only use your car occasionally then a car club could save you a lot of money. Or perhaps your household has two cars – in this case joining a car club could let you make do with one.”
“Our plans for a car club trial feature an electric or hybrid car based next to the town council’s new chargers in the Woodmead car park in Lyme Regis.”
“A typical hire fee for a return trip from Lyme to Axminster might cost about £6 but then you save on all the costs and hassle of owning a car.”
“We’ve had interest from over 60 people. I am speaking to established car clubs to get an agreement to take this forward.”
