Slough Mayor, Preston Brooker, said he wasn't surprised at the findings, adding: 'We have very clean air here and we get a lot of fresh, sunny days and that definitely makes the Slough winters more bearable.

Despite the pandemic pausing or causing disruption to many projects, developers were still keen to transform Slough with at least five major plans seen or approved by Slough Borough Council in 2020.
These included plans to rejuvenate the canal side public realm in the Stoke Wharf area; a huge data centre in Station Road which will further boost Slough's data economy; and the massive Slough regeneration framework plans that will radically change Slough in the next 15 years into a 'beautiful and vibrant place' live and work.
