Overview

Air Quality in Sevenoaks District has improved in recent years. We want to build on this success by introducing a new plan to reduce air pollution further. 

Our role is to monitor the air quality in the District and to draw up a plan to improve air quality. 

However, we cannot improve air quality on our own. We need to work with partners, such as Kent County Council, that looks after roads, cycle paths and public transport, and residents and businesses to encourage them to use cleaner forms of transport. 

We have produced a draft Air Quality Action Plan. The plan includes our work to improve air quality and the work of our partners. It also includes measures to encourage and support residents and businesses to adopt cleaner forms of transport, such as electric vehicles, walking, cycling and reducing the need to travel. 

We have also produced a summary document, which is shown below:

Why your views matter

We're asking you to read through the Summary of our Proposed Air Quality Action Plan, or our full Action Plan, and then take part in our short survey.

There will be an opportunity to suggest other actions that we may not have thought of. 

The Air Quality Team is running online events to answer questions on the consultation and Air Quality Action Plan. These will be held on Friday 11 March 2022 and details can be found below.

Once we have considered all your responses, we will finalise our plan.
