Clean Air Villages 4 (CAV4) is a Defra funded project led by Westminster City Council in collaboration with 26 project partners to improve the air quality across different London ‘villages’, where both air pollution and population density levels are high. 

CAV4 will build on the successes of the award winning CAV1 programme, as well as CAV2 and CAV3, which all focused on interventions to support businesses, communities and hospitals. CAV4 aims to deliver ambitious Freight Solutions for a Clean Air business recovery from COVID-19. CRP is extremely pleased that Defra are supporting a flexible approach to the CAV4 project, enabling project services to be adapted during the COVID-19 crisis.  

The CAV4 Freight Solutions implemented will incorporate Consolidation, Distribution, Mode, Technology and Policy elements, trialled across different ‘Villages’. 

CAV4 will enhance CRP’s measureBEST monitoring tool, to capture, measure and analyse pollutants (including NO2, CO2, PMs) within 25 locations identified, chosen to reflect the Greater London Authority‘s Air Quality Focus Areas.
