Councils across England are being invited to bid for a share of £6m of Government funding to help tackle local air pollution.

The annual Air Quality Grant supports local authorities to develop and implement measures aimed at improving air quality at the local level.

Funding will be prioritised towards projects which: tackle particulate matter; improve public awareness of the impacts of air pollution; and help local authorities to bring down levels of nitrogen oxide (NO2) and other pollutants to below legal limits.

Environment Minister Trudy Harrison said: ‘Poor air quality is the biggest environmental risk to human health and local authorities play a vital role in tackling it.

‘This latest round of funding will support innovative projects across England that give communities the tools to limit their exposure and reduce pollution.’
