￡2m fund for local action on air quality: Local authorities can apply for finds to tackle vehicle emissions

摘要

Local authorities across England can bid for a portion of at least ￡2m for a range of projects to improve air quality by reducing levels of fine particulate matter(PM2.5) and levels of nitrogen dioxide from vehicles. The grant application process is competitive, with projects to tackle PM2.5 particularly welcomed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The best projects will be those that seek to develop long-term solutions to increase awareness and encourage behaviour change.
