Consultation on Nottingham's Air Pollution

Fri, 31 August 2018

Nottingham City Council is holding a consultation on its plans to tackle air pollution. In 2017 the government identified a number of cities where air pollution was too high – including Nottingham – and set them the task of reducing levels of nitrogen dioxide, with targets to be met by 2020 at the latest. The council has since drafted a proposal for meeting these targets and would like to know what residents think before they submit it to the government. The consultation closes on 10th September.
