PRESSURE group Sustainable Devizes will be collecting names for a petition calling for better provision for electric cars in the town and better air monitoring when they stage a Next Generation Vehicle Day on Saturday from 9am to 3pm.

The group is holding Next Generation Vehicle Day in the Market Place and ten electric cars and many bikes will be on display. They are using it as an opportunity to gain support for more electric vehicle plug in points.

The petition says: "We, the undersigned, call on Wiltshire Council to take advantage of government schemes to install electric vehicle charge point in town centres and car parks over the next 12 months. This will help improve air quality, assist tourism and help promote the transition to electric cars."
