CCARA was recently awarded funding for an air quality monitor for Beckenham High Street through the Breathe London Community Programme.
Public awareness of air quality across London has increased a lot in the last few years, but we mostly rely on modelled data to estimate the extent of air pollution in the local area. Measuring air quality in Beckenham and making this information available to local residents, businesses and councillors will help to improve our understanding of how clean the air is, and how this varies over time.
More information will be provided in due course, once the location for the monitor has been selected.
