Press release: New air quality plan published for consultation
Options open for consultation to reduce nitrogen dioxide in our towns and cities.
The government today published a draft plan to improve air quality by reducing nitrogen dioxide levels in the UK.
The options now open for consultation on reducing nitrogen dioxide in our towns and cities are designed to reduce the impact of diesel vehicles, and accelerate the move to cleaner transport.
Local authorities are already responsible for improving air quality in their area, but will now be expected to develop new and creative solutions to reduce emissions as quickly as possible, while avoiding undue impact on the motorist.
The government is consulting on a range of measures that could be taken to mitigate the impact of action to improve air quality.
In line with the timetable directed by the Courts the government is seeking views on these proposals in advance of preparing its final plan for publication by 31 July. All final decisions will be taken by the incoming government.
This consultation will run until 15 June.
