Herts County council’s ‘Let’s clear the air’ campaign team visited Watford and talking to local residents about the small actions we can all make to protect ourselves and our loved ones from air pollution.

They are visiting other locations across Hertfordshire.

The touring activity will talk directly to Hertfordshire residents about all aspects of air pollution; including how to reduce the amount we breathe in and the things we can do to reduce the amount of pollution we personally produce. We’ll be encouraging residents to think about the simple steps they will take to help us and our children breathe a little easier
