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
Please tell us what you think:
We are now gathering your feedback on the project through:
- a survey to gather your opinions on air quality and our project.
- focus groups to improve our new air quality website - we want to make this website as useful and informative as possible and so are running a focus group to look into this 4 February 7pm - 8.30pm on MS Teams.
If you are interested in taking part in the focus group please get in touch at pollution@islington.gov.uk or use the sign up link with the independent contractor CAG who are running these groups.
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
