Winchester City Council has published a draft strategy for improving air quality and is asking for people across the district to have their say.
The draft strategy outlines an approach to improving air quality which, if agreed, will then be used as a basis for a detailed action plan to improve air quality across the district.
It outlines the need to work collaboratively across the district and the wider region, to achieve cleaner air by 2030, making a commitment to go above and beyond UK national air quality targets.
The new strategy has been developed in partnership with the Air Quality Steering Group which includes cross-party councillors, specialist council officers and representatives for public health, the business community and the local environmental lobby.
It outlines 13 actions under five key areas that should be considered to improve air quality across the district. The strategy aims to increase awareness of air pollution and its causes, as well as defining the council’s commitment to improve air quality and identifying air quality challenges across the district.
Respond to the consultation before 27th October at
