Air quality monitoring on Bullsmoor Lane is already being carried out by the London Borough of Enfield, as the relevant local authority. Since construction on the scheme has started, they have not notified Highways England of any exceedances recorded for any monitoring stations within the locality of Bullsmoor Lane. As this monitoring is already in place, Highways England has no plans to implement further monitoring in the locality.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 17/05/2021 14:12:40 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
