Deadline to comment on poor air quality in Clapham closes on Monday

Residents who wish to share their views with the Wandsworth Citizen's Assembly on how to tackle poor air quality in the borough must do so by Monday (April 17).

The Citizen's Assembly is a group of randomly selected residents meeting over four Saturdays until the end of April.

It hears from experts, discusses what can be done to improve air quality and will make recommendations to the council.

The assembly is part of a pledge made by Wandsworth Council to review its Air Quality Action Plan and set "ambitious" new targets to improve the borough's air.

People who live or work in Wandsworth are invited to share their thoughts and comments online.

The assembly will review them and they will help shape their final recommendations. Comment online here.

Judi Gasser, Cabinet Member for the Environment said: "There have been some great discussions at the Citizen's Assembly meetings; participants have heard from a wide range of air quality experts, environmental and other community groups.

"Now we want to make sure everyone in Wandsworth has a chance to tell the Assembly about their experiences of air quality in Wandsworth. Please take part in the consultation and share your thoughts so the assembly can come up with a robust and representative set of recommendations."
