Fallbarrow Holiday Park in the Lake District has introduced new electric car charging facilities as part of an energy-saving initiative.

The holiday park, owned by Parkdean Resorts, the UK’s leading holiday park operator, has seen the initiative introduced as part of the company’s commitment to caring for its people, parks and planet, and reducing its environmental impact.   

As part of Parkdean's Resorts’ commitment to reduce its carbon footprint and help its holidaymakers do the same, electric car charging facilities have been introduced, which will be trialled throughout next year to help the business understand their potential environmental and economic impact.

Jane Bates, director of Procurement and Sustainability at Parkdean Resorts, said: "These new projects are really exciting and important steps forward for us as a business, and the trials will give us a great opportunity to test, learn and start to understand how we can reduce our energy usage and what we can roll out more widely across the business.

"We want to put sustainability at the heart of staycations at Parkdean Resorts, and we’re committed to caring for our people, parks and planet, so we’re really excited to see the results of the trials next year and to implement these findings into our future decision-making."
