Leeds City Council is looking for the views of people living, working and commuting in Leeds and the wider region on its proposals to improve air quality.
Leeds along with 27 other local authorities across the UK has been identified by the government as needing to introduce a range of solutions to meet legal limits on air pollution and therefore improve air quality within the shortest possible timescale.
It is estimated that 40,000 deaths in the UK per year are linked to poor air quality.
A report will be presented to the council’s executive board on Wednesday 13 December outlining a consultation plan on a proposed charging Clean Air Zone (CAZ) covering all roads within the outer ring road, with the motorways acting as the southern boundary. The vehicles affected are HGVs, buses, coaches, taxis and private hire vehicles.
