Dear Sir or Madam,

Please tell me what information the Department for Communities and
Local Government (DCLG) holds , in respect of Greater London and/or
each Borough in Greater London, on the liveability performance
indicator score - in particular with reference to your scale of 1
('no problems') to 5 ('major problems') - for each of: ambient air
quality; heavy traffic; and intrusion from motorways/arterial
roads.

This information was referred to by Iain Wright (PUS, DCLG) when he
responded to a written question from Eric Pickles on 15 July 2008.
I believe the data for the poor quality environment indicator may
be collected through the English House Condition Survey (EHCS). See
TheyWorkForYou.com:

The DCLG has suggested previously that ‘Maxime Twitchen’ may be
able to help.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please will you confirm receipt
of this message.

With best wishes.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Birkett Principal Contact Campaign for Clean Air in London

Simon,

The data for the poor quality environment indicator as referred to in Iain Wright's answer of the 15th July is collected through the English House Condition Survey (EHCS). The department does not have data relating to this indicator for Greater London boroughs or Greater London itself. The EHCS is a national survey which cannot provide estimates below three broad regional areas of England, i.e. south east regions (the South East and London), northern regions (North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber) and the rest of England (East Midlands, West Midlands, South West and East of England).

I have included a link below to our EHCS website which shows data for 03, 04 and 05.

Hope that is helpful.

Maxime.
