  • Single smoke control area

    Smoke control areas are designed to protect the population from poor air quality. They are commonly used in urban areas to combat the negative health effects of smoke from chimneys.

In Leicester this process began in 1958 and finished in 1975, resulting in the city’s smoke control area being covered by 38 separate smoke control orders This means... More
