We're Setting the UK's Most AMBITIOUS Air Quality Target!
Air quality in Richmond upon Thames has improved dramatically since 2019, with a 50% drop in one of the main pollutants, and we have no plans to stop there.
We have set a new goal for air quality, guided by medical advice from the World Health Organisation. This has been built on 10 years of research and sets acceptable air pollution levels at around 75% lower than UK standards. Our new objectives move towards achieving these levels, to get air pollution well below the UK's unsafe limits. The EU is currently planning to adopt the same approach.
We are seeking residents feedback on the draft Air Quality Action Plan, through the online consultation. The consultation closes on Monday 20 January 2025.
