At the meeting of the Environment and Enforcement Committee on 24 October 2017, Members requested a report to update on air quality in the Borough. 

The report aimed to update on general air quality in the Borough and also to consider arrangements for monitoring. 

Members requested that a report would come back to committee on whether the equipment could or could not be deployed and what locations would be suitable. 

A motion was MOVED by Cllr Parker and SECONDED by Cllr Bridge to approve the recommendation in the report. 

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it was RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY that: 

Members note the contents of the report and instruct officers to investigate potential locations to redeploy the continuous monitoring equipment if considered appropriate and viable. 

Reason for recommendation

The recommendation to investigate suitable locations was to enable continued use of existing equipment redeployed to provide useful data whilst the analyser continues to function.
