answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for managing their road networks and have a wide range of tools available to enable them to do so. Pedestrianisation is one option already available for local authorities to consider, but it is for them to determine if it is appropriate at individual sites.</p><p> </p><p>On 26 July the Government launched “The UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations”. This document is the UK air quality plan for bringing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution within statutory limits in the shortest possible time. The plan sets out a wide range of measures that local authorities can consider when developing schemes to address their air quality challenge.
