What to do next in Wandsworth

The correct order matters: do not buy a channel or arrange pavement work before the authority confirms the route.

Register initial interestEmail [email protected] with CABLE CHANNEL in the subject so the council can notify you when the application route is live.
Wait for the application formDo not treat the February announcement or an interest email as permission to install or as confirmation that the property is suitable.
Budget for all three chargesThe announced amounts are £100 non-refundable application, £250 subsidised installation and £150 for a renewable three-year licence.
Arrange the home chargepoint separatelyThe council will own and maintain the channel; the resident is responsible for the dedicated domestic chargepoint.
