Following revocation of the last Air Quality Management Area within East Suffolk at the end of 2024, East Suffolk Council is looking to update the Air Quality Strategy for the district. 

There are no longer any areas in East Suffolk with air pollution levels above the national objectives, however improving air quality remains a priority for the Council due to its impacts on health and the environment.

East Suffolk Council would like to invite those who live and/or work in and around East Suffolk to help shape the direction of the Strategy and submit their views through a short online survey.

Cllr Sally Noble, cabinet member for the Environment, said: “Poor air quality negatively affects the health and wellbeing of our residents and whilst the air quality in East Suffolk generally is very good, we will continue our efforts to reduce air pollution and strive for reductions in emissions wherever possible.

We would like to hear from residents on what they feel should be included in our updated Air Quality Strategy and I would encourage residents to complete the short survey.”

The survey will be open from Tuesday 4 March until Wednesday 2 April and can be accessed at  https://eastsuffolk.co/air.
