Abandoned by BP?

On the day that BP have announced record quarterly profits of £4.27 billion, it is disappointing to report that all the 4 dual output EV chargers in Shaw Croft car park in Ashbourne remain inoperable. This is despite repeated requests from the car park owner, Derbyshire Dales District Council, to BP Pulse to remedy the situation.
The fact that BP Pulse's own web app does not show any chargers in Ashbourne does not give any encouragement to EV owners in the area. The app says the nearest one is in Wirksworth!
