Air quality

You can help to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality by reporting commercial vehicles, such as lorries or buses which are extremely smoky. The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) will contact the vehicle owner/operator and investigate the report.

You can contact VOSA in the following ways:

Tel: 0870 60 60 440
Email: enquiries@vosa.gov.uk

Please state in the email title what type of information is included and complete and attach a reporting form if required. Forms are available in the downloads area.

If you want to report a smoky or suspect vehicle you will need to give some basic information:

• The vehicle registration number (displayed on the number plate)
• The type of vehicle (be as specific as possible)
• The date, time and place where you saw the vehicle, and if possible,
• The name of the vehicles operator (the company or owner) if applicable
