Report to Audit and Risk Management Committee on Air Quality

Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection regarding the Audit and Risk Management Committee’s deep dive review into how air quality matters are being handled by the City Corporation. The Director advised that air quality had been identified by the new Mayor of London as being a priority issue. In addition, the Greater London Authority had introduced criteria for a London local authority to be awarded ‘exemplar borough’ status in action against air pollution. The City Corporation hoped to achieve this by continuing to demonstrate that the City was doing above and beyond what was expected for statutory compliance to improve air quality and reduce public exposure to pollutants.

 

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
