Welcome to the second edition of the Low Emission Strategies (LES) e-Newsletter!
In our second newsletter we aim to give you all the latest news from Sefton, Sheffield, Mid-Devon and Leeds and also an update on our ‘Response to Consultation on Planning Policy Statement Eco-Towns’. We also have a feature profile from our LES Champion Martin Williams, Head of Atmospheric Quality and Industrial Pollution Programme at DEFRA.
Our launch newsletter has been subscribed to by more than 460 of you so far, which is excellent news! We want to continue to reach all Planners and Environmental Practitioners across the country, so please subscribe directly if you want to keep informed on all the latest developments. We also welcome your ideas for future editions of the newsletter and feedback on the content and benefits of this edition and any ideas for questions you would like us to answer in the FAQ.
Other news from around the sector includes the recent final public meeting of the London Assembly’s Environment Committee, which discussed a range of policy initiatives to improve air quality where it was suggested that the costs of not tackling poor air quality far outweigh the costs of taking action! The summary of the findings will be published in the spring.
Finally we would like to send out our congratulations to our LES Survey winner, John from Tunbridge Wells! John was the lucky winner of a luxury organic hamper. A big thank you from LES to all of you who took part!
