Sheffield City
Council
The city of Sheffield has spent a great deal of effort in producing an
Action Plan and believes it is probably a case of good practice. They formed
two Clean Air Partnerships, corresponding to the two Air Quality Management
Areas and put together two websites, one for each. Although they are in process
of revamping them they did win a national award last year.

They include a
number of documents that the City has produced to support the issue.
The revised
websites will be based on a much more interactive model, using a GIS map to
help identify actions that are helping to improve air quality. They will advise
us when more complete and revamped websites are available.
The City of
Sheffield is leading a South Yorkshire media campaign that aims to raise AQ issues
with a wider audience - Care4Air http://www.care4air.org/index.shtml
- they are using a professional media company to manage this project
They are also
pioneering work with local communities in measuring nitrogen dioxide in their
locality, a scheme that is growing, See "Sheffield people check out air
quality in their own backyards" on Care4Air web site
Have a look -
lots of other things to tell you about - such as "Transport
Brokerage" using social transport providers; Air Action Officer and
transport Planner as new posts: a long list!
