You’re probably aware of the amount of air pollution in our borough – it’s a problem nationwide, and the cause of much ill health. However, we’re determined to make Redbridge air as clean as possible. That’s why we’ve introduced We Care for Our Air – a range of initiatives, developed in 2024.
Everyone is invited to implement our Healthy Lung Habits; making simple changes to reduce exposure to polluted air, both inside and outside the home. Because, although most of the air pollution comes from car emissions, it also comes from many indoor sources, too.
But there’s more…

Following the announcement(External link)(External link) 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.
This mapping tool uses the official London Pollution Maps (London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory) and the latest air quality measurements from monitoring sites across the London Air Quality Network to estimate pollution levels along your chosen route. By choosing the route suggested by Google Maps with the cleanest air, you can make your journey healthier and more enjoyable, reducing your exposure to harmful pollutants.
