Low Emission Strategy

We have produced a borough-wide Low Emission Strategy which is focused on reducing emissions from road vehicles and supports more sustainable modes of transport. Its ambition is to improve the health of residents and reduce the number of deaths and hospital admissions attributable to poor air quality that arise every year.
