Air Pollution situation in Ipswich and Suffolk, recorded Friday 8th January 2021 .wav

ѿý Radio Suffolk asked Ipswich Borough council for a response. They sent a copy of their Air Quality Action plan, which they say is a “detailed report “which shows their “progress on implementing measures to improve air quality”.

Councillor James Reeder, Suffolk County Council cabinet member for Public Health, said:

“air pollution is the largest environmental health risk in the UK, and we take it seriously. 11 specific areas have been identified in the county where air pollutant concentrations are high, five of these are in Ipswich. The county council works closely with district and borough councils with their legal requirements to establish action plans to improve air quality. “

“As a county council, we run many schemes which promote healthier lifestyles, but which also contribute to reducing air pollution. But as with addressing climate change, every single person has a responsibility to improve air quality across Suffolk.”
