Transition Willesden monitoring for nitrogen dioxide

Hello all
Along with Transition K2K we have been monitoring for nitrogen dioxide in the area.  See and join our online group to find out more about the project, plus some useful info on what you can do about air pollution here.

This is part of a citizen science project run by the London Sustainability Exchange (LSX).
On Saturday 19th November we will be meeting at 10:00 at Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way, Wembley, HA9 0FJ.  We will be analysing the results and defining an action plan. If you would like to attend pls let us know by replying to this email. We have limited no of places so please let us know if you are interested.
To prepare for this event we are asked to a look at Brent's air quality plans:  https://www.brent.gov.uk/services-for-residents/environment/pollution/air-quality/
And read what other communities did to improve air quality in their area. See report here: https://issuu.com/londonsustainabilityexchange/docs/lsx_ca4c_final_report_nov_2015
We understand that the monitoring results show that a lot needs to be done in our area. It is up to us and the local community to take action!  All are welcome to get involved.
Please start thinking about what would you like to ask our local authority, how you want to work with planners, local businesses and health professionals to improve air quality in our area.
You can also join LSX's next events:
