East Herts Council Air Quality Action Plan Consultation

East Herts Council has now started a six-week consultation on its proposed Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) in fulfilment of its obligations to meet air quality objective limits under Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 and to meet the requirements of the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) statutory process.

The new AQAP for East Herts covers the period between 2024 and 2029 with the aim of improving air quality and reducing residents’ exposure to air pollution and outlining plans to effectively tackle air quality issues that are within the council’s control. The district council cannot achieve this alone and will rely on key stakeholders to achieve positive change.

If you are a group or individual with an interest in air quality, you may wish to be involved with the consultation.

The Air Quality Action Plan, together with details of how to respond to the consultation can be found here: https://www.eastherts.gov.uk/environmental-health/air-quality-action-plan-consultation

The consultation will run for six weeks and close at 09:00-hrs on the 13 December 2023.
