Ealing council are consulting on air quality, and have released two documents setting out their plans to tackle poor air quality in the borough – the first is “Ealing Council Air Quality Strategy (63 pages)”, and the second “London Borough of Ealing Air Quality Action Plan (40 pages)”. The council is inviting views in the accompanying short consultation here.

The consultation takes only a few minutes to complete, mostly asking you indicate how you would score your level of interest and support for the specific proposals set out in the document, as well as asking how easy the report and associated information is to read. There are two questions that ask for “any other comments” where you can enter free text and make specific proposals, and where we would encourage you to provide your feedback! If you want to imagine what could be achieved, try checking out the Car Free cities by Possible for example, and see the results of our event earlier in 2022.

Ealing Transition is also pleased to announce that we have been awarded an air quality sensor as part of the Breathe London Community Program. We will be working with Breathe over the coming weeks and months to install the sensor and to get it running. Follow us by email, twitter, facebook or Instagram for more details.

The Breathe London network is run by the Environmental Research Group at Imperial College London – the same group who run the London Air Quality Network. The group combines air pollution science, toxicology and epidemiology to determine the impacts of air pollution on health and has over 20 years of experience running large urban air quality monitoring network
