Boxing coach disputes EV chargers installed outside home

A boxing coach in Felixstowe says EV chargers installed outside her house prevent her from parking and affect her health.

Nicky Tayler, a boxing coach living on St Andrews Road in Felixstowe, says electric vehicle charging points installed outside her home by county council contractor Believ have affected her physical and mental health. She does not have a driveway or reserved parking space and needs to park close to her home due to a range of health issues affecting her mobility.

Tayler is concerned the chargers prevent her from accessing her home and will affect visits from her 87-year-old mother, who lives in a care home in the town and needs to be dropped off and collected nearby. She is calling for the facilities to be moved across the road, where there are no residential properties.

She says she is also worried about being kept awake at night by the sound of cars charging at 2am, as she has difficulties sleeping. Tayler expressed frustration about the installation, saying there was no consideration shown for residents and that she has received no answers to her concerns.
