15/01/2024 - Revocation of Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) within RBWM
The report seeks Cabinet approval to revoke
the 5 AQMAs within RBWM which
are no longer required as the measured levels of nitrogen dioxide

can
demonstrate no exceedances in all 5 AQMAs for at least 4
consecutive years.
Provisional results for 2023 indicate continued compliance which
will bring the
consecutive years to 5, therefore the council must proceed with the
revocation of
all 5 AQMAs.

2022 can be
found here:

the basis of the
evidence provided by the local authority the conclusions reached
are accepted for
all sources and pollutants. Following the completion of this

compliant AQMAs and submit an Annual Status Report in 2024.

are being achieved and are likely throughout the relevant period to
be achieved,
