Councils across England invited to bid for funding to tackle local air pollution. Previously funded projects include awareness programmes for schoolchildren, e-cargo bike libraries and upskilling healthcare workers on air quality issues. Annual fund forms part of wider Government action to protect public health and the environment by cleaning up our air. Local authorities across England can now apply for a share of £6 million of government funding to deliver projects to improve air quality. The annual Air Quality Grant helps councils develop and implement measures to benefit schools, businesses and communities and reduce the impact of air pollution on people's health.
