Issue - meetings

To inform members of the work undertaken on local air quality management.

Members received an annual update on air quality in the borough, hearing that there were not exceedances of limits and no air quality management areas had been designated.

In relation to higher levels of pollution alongside the A511 in Markfield, it was noted that a detailed assessment had been carried out in 2015 and monitoring had been increased but the average level had remained below the limits and DEFRA had agreed that an air quality management area was not necessary.

RESOLVED – the report be noted.
