No fast charging station for electric cars in Glabbeek possible after negative advice from Flanders
Plans for a fast charging station in Glabbeek face uncertainty after a negative recommendation from the Agency for Roads and Traffic (AWV). The agency opposes a separate entrance and exit for the station, suggesting that users access it via the existing sports hall parking. Mayor Peter Reekmans criticizes this decision, arguing it complicates access and may deter visitors. He highlights the demand for charging infrastructure in the area, noting that residents currently travel to Bekkevoort for the nearest station. Reekmans expresses frustration over the contradictory Flemish policy that encourages new charging points while blocking access. The future of the permit application remains uncertain.
