More information about the Camden Town Low Emission Neighbourhood
Air pollution has a major impact on our health, causing premature deaths and worsening quality of life. Camden Council is committed to improving air quality and protecting health, and will be creating a Low Emission Neighbourhood in Camden Town after being awarded £500,000 from the Mayor of London’s Air Quality Fund.
Over the summer of 2019 Camden held the UK’s first Citizen’s Assembly on the climate crisis, and the Camden Town Low Emission Neighbourhood directly responds to several of the proposals put to the Council by citizens.
Our goal is to reduce air pollution and carbon emissions by working with the community and local businesses in the Camden Town area. We will do this by reducing emissions from transport and deliveries, as well as from heating and cooking appliances in buildings.
We will work with schools and residents to raise awareness about air pollution and to provide practical measures to protect health.
This event is aimed at informing local businesses of the grant-funding opportunities and support programmes on offer via the Council and external partners, as well as how we can work together to improve air quality in Camden.
Camden Town Low Emission Neighbourhood is supported by the Mayor of London’s Air Quality Fund.
