Derwent Valley Car Club, a fully electric car club, is expanding into County Durham thanks to the Innovate UK funded SOSCI project involving 11 partners including Durham County Council.

Project Co-ordinator, Susan Ross, says “We are delighted to expand into Durham, we plan our first hub in Shotley Bridge, our second nearby and hopefully many more in the County”. The pay-as-you-go scheme offers low hourly rates, no mileage fees and full insurance cover.

This expansion will allow access to electric vehicles for the local communities. For more information go to www.facebook.com/derwentvalleycarclub or email the car club at jljcommunitycic@gmail.com
