This Morrisons petrol station could soon have bigger shop and EV charging
Expansion plans have been lodged for the Morrisons petrol station in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The proposed redevelopment of the Goose Street filling station would result in a bigger shop building and the creation of an EV charging zone.
As well as the proposed extension and new EV charging facilities, four jet wash bays and associated works are also planned, according to a full planning application submitted to Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council. A letter accompanying the application, lodged on behalf of the applicant Motor Fuel Group (MFG), states: "MFG is the UK’s largest independent forecourt operator with over 900 sites offering a dual-fuel strategy, convenient retail and ‘food to go’.
"For the abovementioned reasons, MFG are looking to roll-out an extensive supply of EV charging facilities at existing Morrisons sites across the UK to diversify their existing offer, with the aspiration to make it as easy to charge your vehicle as re-fuelling with petrol or diesel.

"The aspiration of MFG is to provide access to convenient and affordable charging, regardless of where the driver lives. As part of MFG’s proposals to upgrade facilities across their portfolio of Morrison petrol filling stations they are also taking the opportunity to extend the existing kiosk/shop, to provide an improved offer to visiting motorists."
