Wigan MBC has appointed its first air quality officer. Matthew O’Neill says his appointment is the latest in a long list of efforts made by the council as it aspires to be carbon neutral by 2038 or sooner.
Tackling air quality and carbon emissions are two of the key challenges facing us, and here in Wigan we want to be an exemplar and leader in air pollution reduction.
Every year polluted air is estimated to contribute to the equivalent of 1,200 deaths in Greater Manchester and that's 1,200 too many.
