<p>Our Clean Air Strategy includes new and ambitious goals, legislation, investment
and policies which will help us to clean up our air faster and more effectively. The
Environment Bill includes measures to improve air quality including ensuring local
authorities have a clear framework, and simple to use powers, to tackle air pollution.</p><p>Local
authorities already have statutory duties to review and assess local air quality,
and to declare Air Quality Management Areas and put in place action plans to clean
up local air if improvements are necessary. There are a range of tools available to
them to support this work.</p><p>The Borough’s latest assessment of air quality in
St Helens is detailed in their Annual Status Report for 2018. This details the measures
they have put in place to tackle poor air quality and the progress they are making
towards achieving their air quality objectives.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
