News In Brief
Zero Emissions Network offered £704,000 to develop green projects
Zero Emissions Network has been offered £704,000 by the London Mayor’s Air Quality Fund to develop a number of new projects in five boroughs including a pilot to use sustainable transport for last-mile deliveries.
Other initiatives include improved business engagement to get more businesses using sustainable transport and running events to encourage people to reduce emissions from transport.
The boroughs - Westminster, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and the City of London - have also been awarded £180,000 to help more businesses switch to cargobikes. Businesses in boroughs can apply now for grants towards the cost of cargo bikes for deliveries and work travel, helping to cut bills and improve air quality.
With over 3,000 resident and business members, Zero Emissions Network is an award-winning initiative that helps people save money, reduce emissions and improve local air quality.
It has recently expanded to the City of London, Westminster and Newham after already helping nearly 100 businesses - including electricians, florists and hairdressers - switch to cargo or e-bikes in Hackney and Tower Hamlets.
The network also offers free advice and services to help people switch to low emission transport.
Cllr Mete Coban, Hackney Council Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Environment and Transport, said: “Working with businesses to cut transport emissions is a key part of our air quality and climate action plans, which is why we co-founded the Zero Emissions Network and why we’re thrilled to now be working with four more boroughs.
“Cargo bikes help cut bills for businesses, support faster deliveries, help improve air quality and create a greener, healthier Hackney.”
Logistics UK’s Deputy Director of Policy, Michelle Gardner said: “It is positive to see funding for these new projects - including for sustainable transport for last mile deliveries - alongside a collaborative approach to engaging businesses to help them consider alternative transport options that can reduce emissions.”
