Clean Air Zone reports
The Clean Air Zone (CAZ) in Portsmouth was put in place in November 2021. Since its Go-Live, we have been monitoring air quality in the CAZ as part of our city-wide air quality monitoring programme.
It’s worth noting that the government will require at least two consecutive years of data to begin looking at whether or not the CAZ has led to a satisfactory drop in air pollution in the area. If the CAZ is found to be compliant with UK recommended air quality levels after this time the government will let us know what our next steps can be.
For the most recent air quality data across the city, please refer to Portsmouth City Council’s latest Air Quality Annual Status Report. These can be obtained on request from CleanerAir@portsmouthcc.gov.uk.
