(Report of Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health)
The report provided an updated Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) for the six Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) within the Borough. The AQAP outlined actions to be taken to reduce concentrations of pollutants within the AQMAs so that, eventually, these could be revoked. The actions identified within the AQAP would also be used to tackle Nitrogen Dioxide across the Borough as a whole.
Following consideration by the Street Scene and Environment Services Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Street Scene and Environment Services resolved that:
The Draft Amended Air Quality Action Plan, as set out at Annex 2 to the report, be endorsed and the wider statutory consultation be undertaken.
