A COMPANY is seeking permission to set up charging points and bays at a car park, in a bid to cater to anticipated increasing numbers of electrical vehicles (EV).

The plans have been submitted for the car park on Bradford Road in Brighouse, by Iduna EVCI Asset Co 1 Limited – whose trading name is Be.EV.

The car park serves the B&M and Pets at Home stores.

The company wants permission from Calderdale Council to install eight electric vehicle charging points and eight bays, along with a feeder pillar, power bank, substation, and other work.

The statement says: “There is great emphasis on providing easily accessible and cost-effective electrical vehicle charging infrastructure which has initially been focussed on Greater Manchester but is now being rolled out nationally and as a result Be.EV are one of the fastest growing EV charging networks.

“Be.EV currently have over 300 charging points in place and are actively working across the country to secure additional sites in the future which are necessary to underpin the UK’s transition to electric motoring and Net Zero.”

London Zoo Names Three Asiatic Lion Cubs
Three adorable Asiatic lion cubs born in March to parents Arya and Bhanu at London Zoo have been named just in time for Father’s Day.The mames for the 13-week old cubs – Mali (male), Syanii (male) and Shanti (female) – were carefully selected from submissions sent in by schoolchildren across the UK, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) said in a press statement.“The feisty trio grow from strength to strength, each developing distinct personalities,” the charity said, adding that the cubs have recently been delighting visitors by practicing their roars, currently a loud mewing sound.Footage released by the ZSL shows the fuzzy cubs frolicking in their sunny enclosure, with their mother, Arya.“The addition of these three lion cubs to Bhanu and Arya’s family is hugely exciting for all of us at the zoo and a great conservation achievement,” lion keeper Martin O’Sullivan said.“Asiatic lions are an endangered species in the wild, with population numbers thought to be around 600-700, so three new lion cubs are a critical step toward building a strong reserve population to protect the species."

A Southwest Airlines plane that did a 'Dutch roll' suffered structural damage, investigators say
A Boeing 737 Max suffered damage to parts of the plane's structure after it went into a “Dutch roll” during a Southwest Airlines flight last month, U.S. investigators said Friday. The incident happened as the jet cruised at 34,000 feet from Phoenix to Oakland, California, on May 25, but Southwest did not notify the National Transportation Safety Board about the roll or damage to the jetliner until June 7, the NTSB said. “Following the event, SWA performed maintenance on the airplane and discovered damage to structural components,” the safety board said.

Illinois is hit with cicada chaos. This is what it's like to see, hear and feel billions of bugs
Crawling cicada nymphs, striving to get higher after 17 years underground, marched en masse toward and up trees, pausing to shed their skin and emerge as adults. Trillions of once-hidden baby bugs are in the air, on the trees and perching upon people's shirts, hats and even faces. “What you saw was biblical,” said biologist Gene Kritsky, who has been chasing periodical cicadas for 50 years, yet was still amazed by the 3 to 5 million cicadas crowding a small patch of Ryerson Conservation Area north of Chicago.

It’s heat wave season. That’s bad news for your flights.
A heat wave is about to settle in and make life uncomfortable for the eastern part of the United States. That could also complicate air travel. The effect of high temperatures can force planes to reduce the weight they are carrying, which can lead to delays and passengers being bumped. And hot days can make a plane’s cabin swelter as it sits on the runway before taking off or after landing.Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Po
