Redbridge is running a new project to help raise awareness of all things air quality and improve the health of the most vulnerable in our borough.

Focusing on Loxford, Newbury Park and Goodmayes - areas where residents suffer some of the highest rates of air pollution-related illness - the We Care for Our Air project is running from April 2023 until March 2025.

Schools, GP surgeries and other community organisations are working with us to help us learn more about local air quality, and pass messages to the wider community about the things we can do to tackle the problem and breathe less pollution.

To find out how clean our local area is, we need your help monitoring air pollution levels near your home, school or place of work. No experience is needed as simple free training will be provided.

To sign up and receive a free diffusion tube each month to put up at a place that matters to you, just contact air@mappingforchange.org.uk. It’s free and easy and the more people that join in, the better informed we’ll be!

Air Quality data is now available to view on our Redbridge Community Air Quality Map so everyone can see where air pollution is highest.

Free cycle training and group bike rides are available if you live in Loxford, Newbury Park and Goodmayes. We want residents to feel safe and confident enough to get out and about on their bikes for short journeys and for fun.

    Following the announcement in February that the Council had been awarded almost a third of a million pounds from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to help improve the borough’s air quality, the Council has now launched its ‘We Care for our Air’ campaign.

    Focusing on three key areas; Loxford, Newbury and Goodmayes, selected based on levels of air pollution linked illness - schools, GP surgeries and other community groups have now signed up in support of the campaign.

    A number of initiatives to better our understanding of air quality issues are now launching in those areas, by actively involving local residents in testing the air to develop an interactive online map, for the benefit of the wider community.

    This research will also support targeted strategies and campaigns that will enable residents, particularly vulnerable groups such as school aged children to make behaviour changes that reduce their exposure to harmful air pollution.

    In parallel to the community workshops, local primary schools will engage pupils in awareness raising workshops including air pollution monitoring as well as providing cycle training and cycle storage to encourage active travel.
