Exciting news for Bridgend! 🚗🔌 A brand-new electric vehicle hub might soon breathe life into a vacant site at Bridgend Science and Technology Park. The ambitious plans, submitted by Mango Planning and Development Ltd for The Nathaniel Group, aim to transform the area into a cutting-edge centre for electric vehicles. If approved, this could lead to the creation of up to 125 full- and part-time jobs, most sourced locally!
The proposed hub on Technology Drive will be a complete EV centre of excellence. It will focus on prepping new vehicles, repairs, MOTs, and even include a training centre for EV technologies. Perfectly suited to its prior role as a data centre, the site boasts robust electrical infrastructure, ample parking, and plenty of space for EV charging stations. Plus, there will be sections dedicated to vehicle inspection, maintenance, scratch repair, and valeting.
This isn’t just about vehicles rolling off the assembly line – it’s about nurturing local talent and positioning Bridgend as a key player in the future of electric transport. 🌿🔋
The project is now awaiting the green light from Bridgend County Borough Council’s planning department. Keep your fingers crossed – this could be a significant boost to our local economy!
