Cleethorpe Road Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) Action Plan - Consultation

We’re asking local residents for their views on air quality in the area. We want to know what you think we should be doing to improve air quality in the area.

The survey will run from the 11 March until the 8 April 2020.

We have a duty to continually review the outdoor air quality within our area against the National Air Quality Standards and comply with these standards.

A detailed assessment of the Cleethorpe Road area was undertaken and the results concluded that an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) should be put in place because Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) levels were above an acceptable level.

The measures within the original Action Plan were completed and improvements of NO2 within the AQMA were seen but still continue to be above the national level.

A new Action Plan has been produced outlining 16 potential measures that the council will explore to help bring the levels of nitrogen dioxide below the government set levels.
