AQMRC present ECO Stars draft evaluation

Jo and Tim presented the draft conclusions and recommendations of their recent evaluation of the ECO Stars fleet recognition scheme to members of the South Yorkshire Steering Group in Barnsley last Wednesday 6th April. The draft report and presentation were very well received and generated a lot of useful points which have subsequently been brought into the final report submitted yesterday.

AQMRC workshop at EPUK

Tim and Jo held a workshop at the EPUK Spring Workshop in Rugby last Tuesday 5th April. The theme of the workshop was "Optimising the 'win-wins' - integrating air quality and climate change plans. The workshop was well-attended and provoked a good deal of thought and discussion about the best ways of integrating air quality and climate change through communication with stakeholders, both obvious and not so obvious, to achieve common goals. If you would like more advice on achieving integrated air quality action plans and climate change strategies, please email us at aqmrc@uwe.ac.uk.
