Air Quality Engagement - Highbury and Mildmay Wards
The council developed a project with the community in the Highbury and Mildmay wards in Islington to increase understanding of air quality in the local area.
As part of this air quality project we:
increased air pollution monitoring across Highbury and Mildmay
created a new website for the community with real-time air quality data, providing quicker and clearer air quality monitoring results
ran citizen science workshops for residents to participate in the collection of air quality monitoring data in their local area
delivered events celebrating the project and local community
- gathered your opinion through surveys and focus groups
Next steps:
We are now looking at the results of the follow up survey and focus groups and will report results shortly.
Results of initial 2024 survey:
We held a survey to ask for local people's feedback about air pollution, to help us get a better idea of what you think about this issue and help us tailor the project moving forward. The aim was to:
- select which information to include on our new air quality website
- decide on the best engagement, citizen science activities and events to run
- check how effective the project has been, when we compare the results now to another survey next year
