air quality

Mayor Sadiq Khan has pledged to double the funding to help microbusinesses and low income households scrap polluting cars for cleaner alternatives

The project will cover 29 primary schools located next to some of the most polluted roads in the capital

Air quality sensors will take pollution readings approximately every 30 metres at tens of thousands of locations across the capital

Government rightly puts the focus on household wood-burning stoves to improve air quality

The government had introduced temporary 50mph speed limits on five of the main roads and motorways in June this year

It is the first local authority to have it approved as part of the government’s wider £3.5bn programme to reduce harmful emissions from road transport

Nearly 750,000 cars have failed their tests since May 20th 2018 compared to 350,472 during the same period last year

Recommendations will be made for future air quality policy and actions needed to meet targets to tackle pollution

Businesses with innovative ideas that go beyond exhaust and road vehicle fumes can bid for a share of the funding

They are in addition to up to £50m for a health monitoring programme over five years as well as ongoing air quality monitoring at the site
