The reporting tools below can be used to analyse air quality data across the district for the last five years. Use our interactive tool to explore the data and view the data in table format by opening the blue boxes underneath.

Under Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 we have a legal duty to review and assess current and future air quality against air quality objectives established in the National Air Quality Strategy.
