In 2017, your Conservative Councillors funded a survey by King’s College London into the level of NO2 in the Ward, with the aim of obtaining hard scientific data which could persuade organisations to take the level of air-pollutants seriously, and support applications for funding to alleviate the problem.
Armed with the data from the King’s College survey, St Edward’s Catholic Primary School was successful in obtaining a Westminster Council grant from the Schools’ Clean Air Fund. We are delighted to see that the new ivy-wall was planted along the school’s boundary during the summer holidays. This green screen will help reduce pollutants, provide privacy for the children, and lower noise-levels around the school.
