Figure 7: Local Green Spaces
Air Quality and Pollution A main contributor to the pollution in the air locally is the M1 Motorway. Traffic frequently queues as it passes by Glenfield and especially by junction 21 and 21A, the junction of the A46 with the M1. The prevailing winds bring these noxious fumes and particulates into Glenfield giving unacceptably poor air quality. Glenfield is effectively boxed in between the Leicester City, the M1 and the A46 and A50 busy trunk roads. 33
