Traffic queuing in St Vincent's Road Pic: StePNE Preston City Council says there are no plans to introduce an Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in the cit
Preston City Council says there are no plans to introduce an Ultra Low Emission Zone in the city.ULEZ aims to help improve air quality by reducing the number of vehicles that don’t meet emissions standards.
In London, the much-discussed ULEZ has helped to reduce harmful nitrogen dioxide pollution by nearly half in central London and a fifth in inner London. The study found that 136 people were dying in Preston every year from PM2.5-related illness, which equated to one in every 25 deaths in the city. PM2.5 is particle matter that can originate from traffic. These particles are dangerous to human health as they can settle in the lungs and enter the bloodstream.Preston City Council has a legal responsibility to assess and improve the local air quality to meet government objectives.
