For the last nine months East Dulwich has had 14 car club cars based on our streets. Ten of those were funded by East Dulwoch councillors via Cleaner, Greener, Safer funding.

So far they’ve been in use 39% of the time. Considering that night time is 33% of the time that’s very good. In fact that’s amazing. One car on the first day was taken out 8 times. That’s 8 car journeys where people didn’t need to own a car themselves but could share a car club car. You’ll often see car club vans in use in the area.

Importantly the East Dulwich vehicles are available 98% of the time. The car are BMW Z4’s.

So far a huge success.

What next?

My aim is that everyone of our East Dulwich streets – all 65 of them – have at least one car club car on them. That way everyone will be less than a minutes walk away.
