Clean Up Our Air Campaign
The council has been awarded an Air Quality Grant by Defra to provide Community Boards with materials to carry out 'Clean Up Our Air' events.
The objectives of the campaign are:
- To raise awareness of local air quality issues in the Community Board areas
- To highlight what the council are doing to reduce air pollution and advise residents, businesses, and visitors to the area what they can do to help reduce emissions
- To give a basic understanding on dispersion and how this information can be used to reduce exposure to air pollution
- To explain the co-benefits of improving air quality i.e. an increase in wellbeing and a reduction of harmful gas emissions
