Something different (or maybe not) to pass your time while charging your EV in Lincolnshire 

Electric car charging station refused planning permission as locals fear it would become a hotspot for crime, sex work and doggers

Stuart Bremner, member of the Tinwell Rd Residents' group, said locals were mainly concerned about antisocial behaviour, 'particularly after dark' with fears of 'car doors banging, loud music, and undesirable behaviour in an unstaffed toilet block'.

Right that's decided, I'm definitely getting an EV now!

It'll give you something to do other than drinking coffee while you wait for the car to charge.

The councillor who lead the planning meeting is called Richard Cleaver, made me giggle anyway

Car Insurance Shocker!!

My car insurance for the Fiesta was under £200 last year.  So was the Focus.  Both are now gone.

The car insurance for the TM3 as a mid-year change was disproportionately high, but I put that down to being a change as much as the car.

I expected the premium to be higher than rock bottom that I had before, but my renewal has come through at £1,900 

I am yet to do the shopping around but totally shocked at this type of premium being tabled 

Are you happy to share what your renewal cost was after shopping around?

I will but the current insurer is being difficult and refusing to confirm my NCB.  I can't shop around without that number of years.

Surely you can get quotes with wha you know your NCB will be? Or, do you not know? It should be last years renewal quote + 1 year

It should be included as part of the documentation provided with the renewal quote.

Don't be envious... this facility may soon be rolled out to other areas.
