PLEASE VISIT THE WEB LINK (https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=5a6b9cc...) TO REGISTER AN INTEREST AND VIEW THE DOCUMENTS. A total of 6 Local Authorities make up the Liverpool City Region (LCR); Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral with a total population of 1.5 million.

Across the LCR, Defra's national air quality assessment, as reported to the EU Commission, has identified and/or projected an exceedance of the annual mean for Nitrogen Dioxide - 40ug/m3; and the LCR has numerous declared Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs). At present each local authority has its own air quality pages, hosted within the Council webpages and these vary in terms of design, amount of information and type of content.

We are looking to create a stand-alone website which will have content which is pertinent to all the Local Authorities within the LCR.At the core of the project will be an LCR air quality web based platform which aims to provide a 'one-stop shop' for air quality within the LCR. The website will be clear and simple to use and targeted at raising public awareness of air quality and influencing their behaviour.

The project aims to engage the public within the LCR and educate them on air quality in the local area, as well as generating publicity for new initiatives, grants and incentives. There are many existing great projects and initiatives which the public are not aware of or are not utilised to their full capacity.

The website will be an easy to use and understand platform for the general public and will provide a clear and consistent message within the LCR. The front facing webpage will be used to display news, links to initiatives, pages for community groups, Twitter and Facebook feeds, links to local authority data, Air Quality Management Areas, Annual Screening Reports, Action Plans, shared guidance and to promote relevant local and national projects to improve air quality.
