Air quality monitoring 2018

In June 2018 we set out seven separate monitors of air quality in and around Mitcham Fair Green.

This was a follow up exercise to air quality monitoring we did in July 2016.

In 2016 we wanted to find out what air qualtiy was like at Mitcham Fair Green before the bus street went through the centre of the green, allowing buses to avoid the one way system, and allowing the bus stops at the large Western Road junction to be removed.

What we're working on

Air quality. We are monitoring air qualtiy in Mitcham on an ongoing basis. Latest info is in News

The Canons. We were one of three community organisations in Mitcham instrumental in securing £4.3 million for The Canons in summer 2017. We are now involved in work on spending this money to reinvigorate the open spaces and The Canons house. Check the project out on Facebook

Our street scene. We care about how Mitcham feels as a place to live, work, shop and relax. We comment on planning applications when we think they will be harmful to our area which we think still has a strong village feel thanks to its open spaces and historic buildings.

Litter. An ongoing problem in Mitcham we are constantly on the alert for fly tips and litter build-ups. We report these to Merton Council's streets contractor Veolia and its parks contractor IdVerde. You can report too - try tweeting @VeoliaUK @idverdeUK or reporting online to Merton Council

More. We get involved in other projects too. Watch this space for the latest news!
