Roadside development will bolster electric vehicle charging infrastructure
Property developer, Eshton Group, has begun construction of a new roadside development on Bridge Street, Castleford.
Planning consent was granted by Wakefield Council in late 2024 for the site to be turned into an electric vehicle charging hub and coffee shop. Eshton Group has since instructed Ellenby Construction and preparation works are now underway.
The group has already secured Costa Coffee and EV Networks for the development, bringing 10 EV charging bays and a drive-thru coffee shop to the area. The site is expected to be completed by October.
Richard Tovey, director at Leeds-based Eshton Group, said: “As we continue to build our portfolio of roadside sites, we are pleased to be able to bring forward this new development in Castleford.
“Not only will the new site bolster local EV charging infrastructure, but it will also serve commuters due to its prime proximity to key road networks.
“Having already secured EV Networks and Costa Coffee to the site, we are confident this new roadside development will be a welcome addition to the local area.”
Eshton Group specialises in commercial, industrial and roadside development. It is looking for additional sites for roadside uses across the North.
