Emissions

Over half of the emissions in Harborough District are due to transport, including the M1. Transport emissions are decreasing more slowly than emission reductions from homes or business.

Consider how you travel to keep our environment clean. Could you walk or cycle, or perhaps take public transport ? If it’s raining, leave the car and take your umbrella instead. For cycle routes, footpaths, and public transport please visit the Roads and transport page

Own an electric or hybrid car? More people in Harborough district are using our electric car chargers, with big carbon savings. We are working on providing additional electric vehicle (EV) charging points in Harborough district. We already have several EV charging points across Harborough district, including Broughton Astley, Kibworth and Lutterworth. For more information and map, visit the Electric Vehicle Charging Points page.

Consider lift-sharing with our friends and neighbours. Save on fuel costs, have a catch-up and travel together with lift-sharing opportunities.
