Report of the Interim Executive Director for Environment.

The Committee received a report of the Interim Executive Director for Environment, concerning the statutory Annual Status Report for air quality.

A Member enquired why there were gaps in the data for locations such as Upper Thames Street. It was explained that the air quality monitors had to be re-located as the sites was no longer viable, or monitors had not been installed until recent years.

A Member raised concerns on riverside pollution and enquired if this was monitored. The response was that a monitor had been installed on Tower Pier, and the City Corporation worked with the Port of London Authority (PLA) who also monitored pollution on the riverside. Monitors had also been installed on the City’s bridges in conjunction with the City Bridge Trust. The locations of the monitors were reviewed annually.

RESOLVED – That the report be received and its contents noted.
