Low Emission Strategies
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.
LES in Action!
Liverpool City Region
Sefton and the LES Partnership have developed a process guide for Sefton Council procurement. The guide emphasises the need to influence the procurement activity at all stages and particularly at the outset, when there is most scope to affect subsequent emissions.Leeds / York
Following the adoption of the Low Emission Strategy in October 2012, York is now focusing on the roll-out of the LES measures and developing a revised Air Quality Action Plan.The Eco-stars scheme was formally launched in York on 5th March, with 12 members already signed up and more in the pipeline.
Sussex
Sussex is developing a draft "Air Quality and Emission Mitigation Guidance for Sussex" to link LES and mitigation directly into development applications with or without AQ assessments. This guidance is intended to assist planners and developers at pre-application stage to ensure air quality and emission mitigation is taken into account at the start of the process and to ensure an open and clear approach is understood by developers with regard to mitigating for any potential air quality impacts.Share this page
