SOLIHULL’S strategies that have come into force to help improve air quality across the borough have been showcased for all to see.
With the launch of new air quality webpages and the installation of air quality sensors across the borough, as well as our Engines Off anti-idling campaign with schools, 2025 has been a big year for air quality in Solihull.
Council staff hosted an information stall at the Core, taking place to mark Clean Air Day on June 19.
The annual campaign is focused on raising awareness of the impact of air quality on people’s health and wellbeing.
Councillor Andy Mackiewicz said: “We’re working with the West Midlands Combined Authority, Birmingham Airport and many more businesses to play our part in improving air quality across the borough.
“As our Air Quality strategy details, there are plenty of projects taking place to help make Solihull’s air quality – which is already pretty good – even better.
“Better air quality will help us all breathe cleaner air, with all the many health benefits that brings with it.”
The Council’s Air Quality Strategy for 2024 to 2028 details the work currently taking place to improve air quality.
