Air quality: Liveability performance indicator

Simon Birkett made this Freedom of Information request to Department for Communities and Local Government

Department for Communities and Local Government did not have the information requested.

From: Simon Birkett

16 July 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please tell me, for each ward in Greater London, the latest
available information held by the Department on the liveability
performance indicator score - on your scale of 1 ('no problems') to
5 ('major problems') - for each of: ambient air quality; heavy
traffic; and intrusion from motorways/arterial roads.

Yours faithfully,

Simon

Thank you for your email. Further to your query on air quality, are there
any national indicators that you are referring to?

This is the information to which I referred in my FOI request.
Given that this information was referred to by one of your
Ministers, I hope that you will not take the full FOI period to
reply.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please will you confirm receipt
of this message.

With best wishes.

The data for the poor quality environment indicator as referred to in Iain Wright's answer of the 15th July is collected through the English House Condition Survey (EHCS). The EHCS is a national survey which cannot provide estimates at the ward level. Therefore CLG does not hold the data for each ward in greater London as requested.

If you have any further follow up queries, please contact Maxime Twitchen who has been copied into this reply.
