The Mayor of #London, Sadiq Khan, has announced a further £6 million for the Mayor’s Air Quality Fund on #CleanAirDay, marking the 70th anniversary of the Clean Air Act. London boroughs will be able to apply later this summer for funding to support local projects aimed at reducing air pollution.
Since its launch, the fund has allocated £27 million across four rounds, supporting more than 100 projects, including clean air routes, electric vehicle charging points, cycle #infrastructure, school streets and #emissions reduction schemes. A further £20 million has been contributed by boroughs and partners.
The announcement comes as London reports nitrogen dioxide levels within legal limits for the first time. The Mayor said continued investment in cleaner transport, air quality monitoring and local initiatives would help further improve public #health and reduce pollution across the capital.
