Changes are being planned at the Portland Service Station – to include an electric vehicle ‘hub’ and new jet wash bays.

Plans for the Coode Way site will also include an amended parking layout with several existing spaces being given up.

That'll allow an increase from two to eight EV charge points.

New air and water machines could also be installed, if planning permission's approved.

Public comments, via the Dorset Council website, remain open until March 19th.
