Tell us how you would cut air pollution - council

The council wants to encourage people to walk and cycle more to tackle air pollution

People are being asked how they would cut air pollution in South Kesteven.

South Kesteven District Council said comments would shape its Air Quality Action Plan.

The document will set out how the district should deal with tackle poor air quality for the next five years.

People have until 11 December to take part in an online survey.

Feedback will contribute to the council's Air Quality Action Plan for the next five years

Councillor Rhea Rayside, cabinet member for people and communities, said: "The action plan sets out the tasks and behaviours designed to mitigate or lower emissions in Grantham town centre, including improving traffic management at key junctions and encouraging people to walk and cycle.

"We are, however, keen that it also reflects our ambition to reduce exposure to air pollution throughout South Kesteven and would encourage everyone from across the district to tell us which elements of air quality they think we should focus on."

The council wanted to hear what steps people might be prepared to take to improve air quality, such as car sharing, added Rayside.
