Smoke Control area consultation

Cambridge City Council are seeking the views of Cambridge residents and businesses on proposals to amend the boundary of the existing smoke control areas (SCA) to cover the whole city.

This includes whether to widen the scope of the legislation to include permanent residential moored vessels on the River Cam within the Cambridge City Council district boundary.

Have your say by completing the Smoke control area expansion survey, which is open for comments until Sunday 20 April.

The council is considering these changes to improve health. Smoke from chimneys contains tiny particles known as Particulate Matter (PM).

The council is considering revoking the existing smoke control orders and replacing them with a single smoke control order. This will cover the entire district and could include permanent residential moored vessels.

You will need to register or log in on our consultation and engagement platform to take part in the survey.

Thank you to everyone who participates.
