The Mayor of London has invested £6 million from his Air Quality Fund in 15 new projects being established across London with the aim of improving the capital’s air quality and tackling our climate emergency. The new schemes include initiatives to cut pollution from river craft and construction machinery, as well as establishing hundreds of car-free and pedestrianisation schemes.
Four new Low Emission Neighbourhoods (LENs) will be established in Hackney, Dagenham, Southwark and Camden. LENs receive funding and support to install electric vehicle charge points, expand cycle lanes, establish green walls and investigate traffic reduction schemes. This funding will be matched with almost £3 million from the relevant boroughs.
Steer supported Southwark Council with their successful bid to create a LEN around the Walworth Road, near the Elephant & Castle area in South London, bringing a share of the £6m Transport for London is investing in this round of the MAQF.
