THE electric car charging point in Beeches Car Park has finally been fixed after spending six weeks out of action.

At some point before March 2 vandals broke the charging point and the council were waiting for a part to arrive before they could replace it.

Cotswold District Council used a £75,000 government grant to install charging points in Cirencester and Moreton-in-Marsh at the end of 2014.

A council spokesman said: “We’re almost there – we need to get it commissioned and then registered on Charge Your Car network (so it will have a location number to aid people who want to use it) and we are confident that this can all be done in the week commencing April 27.”
