WELCOME TO THE Low Emission Strategies (LES) website!
The Low Emission Strategies Partnership
We are a partnership of local authorities working together to improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions from road transport. We do this by promoting the uptake of low emission fuels and technologies, by developing tools and resources and sharing best practice.
