Essex Air Quality Strategy
The Essex Air Quality Strategy has been developed by the Essex Air Quality Consortium, which brings together all 15 borough, district, city, county and unitary councils across Essex (including Southend and Thurrock) to work together to improve air quality in Essex, under the banner of EssexAir.
The strategy sets out a shared vision, aims and a series of actions the consortium plans to take to improve air quality in Essex and help reduce the impact of air pollution on people's health.
