Residents are being asked for their views on how to improve air quality on Exeter
The council is developing a new Air Quality Strategy and Air Quality Action Plan for the city.
The Air Quality Strategy and Air Quality Action Plan set out how to manage and improve air quality in the city over the coming years.
The council is working with Ricardo, who are experts in supporting organisations with climate goals and sustainability.
To help with this work, the council wants to hear from people who live, work or spend time in Exeter. Their views will help us understand local experiences of air quality and what matters most to our communities.
Cllr Ruth Williams, Lead Councillor for City Management, said: “Air quality refers to the condition of the air around us, including the levels of pollutants that can affect our health, wellbeing, and the environment.
“Poor air quality can have impacts on people’s respiratory and cardiovascular health and can also affect local communities and the natural environment.
“Hearing from you now will help us to build a clear picture of how people understand air quality in Exeter, identify key concerns or priorities and shape the direction of the draft Strategy and Action Plan.”
This early engagement is an important first step and helps ensure that the Strategy and Action Plan are informed by a wide range of local perspectives.
The draft strategy will go to public consultation.
Please take the time to complete a short online survey. It will take between 5-10 minutes to complete and is available on the council’s consultation website: Improving air quality in Exeter: Engagement survey
