Still time to have your say on Richmond’s Air Quality Action Plan
There is still time to have your say on Richmond’s Air Quality Action Plan 2017.
Air pollution is connected to 40,000 deaths in the UK every year and areas in Richmond town centre, Twickenham, Barnes, Chalker’s Corner, Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick, Sheen, Kew, Teddington and Whitton continue to breach the UK annual mean NO2 objective of 40µg/m3.
Some of the suggestions in Richmond Council’s five year plan to clean up the borough are school audits, walking buses and 200 new electric charging points.
A more detailed summary can be found here.
