The project will also enable low-carbon technologies such as electric vehicle charging points to be installed. “The £1m investment we’re making by installing new underground electricity cables is major for the people of Windermere along with the hundreds of thousands of visitors the town attracts each year,” said John Wilkinson, who is overseeing the work for ENW.ENW engineers are to begin working on the B5285 from Monday, February 27.
