Air Quality Strategy 2025 - 2030

From: Executive - Monday, 1st September, 2025 6.00 pm - September 01, 2025

To approve the Air Quality Strategy 2025 – 2030 for adoption.   Air pollution can have a serious effect on people’s health.  The Environment Act 2021 requires all local authorities to have either an active Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP), if the authority has declared an Air Quality Management Area, or to produce an Air Quality Strategy.   In 2024, Fareham revoked both of its AQMAs and is therefore no longer required to have an AQAP.  As such, an Air Quality Strategy is required.  The new Strategy has been produced in accordance with legislation and guidance.   The Executive approved a 12-week public consultation on the draft Strategy at its meeting of 3 February 2025.  This consultation took place between 19 May 2025 and 8 August 2025.   The final Air Quality Strategy is presented for adoption.
