The Executive considered the latest Air Quality Data across the High Peak and measures being proposed and undertaken in relation to the two declared Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) as part of the Air Quality Action Plan.  The report was considered by the Community Select Committee on 21 July 2021.  The additional recommendation from Community Select Committee was accepted and it was noted that although the Council has a statutory duty to declare an Air Quality Management Area where required, it has limited powers to implement the action plan and relies on partnership working.

There were no alternative options to consider.

RESOLVED:

1.    That the updated information and data be noted;

2.    That the potential for the declaration of an AQMA in Fairfield in 2022 in the event that monitoring results and data analysis from 2021 support this be noted;

3.    That early exploration of mitigation of compromised air quality in the potential AQMA on Fairfield Road be noted.
