Waverley’s Draft Air Quality Action Plan under the spotlight tonight.

 

Tonight members of ‘Your Waverley’s Overview & Scrutiny Committee will review a plan which aims to improve air quality in the borough.

Air pollution is associated with several adverse health impacts.

It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution mainly affects the most vulnerable in society: children, older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. 

The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion.

Waverley  Council is committed to improving environmental equity, air quality,  and respiratory health; its Action Plan aims to reduce the exposure of people in Waverley to poor air quality to improve health.

One thought on “Waverley’s Draft Air Quality Action Plan under the spotlight tonight.”

  1. What is this nonsense, Waverley have signed off 2,000 houses for construction in Cranleigh. The High Street is jammed all the time thanks to “ traffic calming measures “ and air quality is not as it should be. Let’s get real, the council don’t care about air quality or the environment
