Minutes:
The Leader introduced the report on the progression of plans for tackling air quality related to road traffic pollution on the A53 Etruria Road at Basford Bank. The project of a bus gate had been rejected by the Council, taking away the risk of traffic being transferred to local roads.
An alternative proposal was to be discussed as exempt business during the closed session, which the Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Environment was looking forward to. A close monitoring of the air quality in the area had been undertaken through receptors placed on lamp posts.
Resolved: (i) That the options for addressing air quality in line with a Ministerial Direction, be considered.
(ii) That the details and the progression of a plan which is an alternative to the A53 bus gate be noted and agreed. Details of which are set out in the Restricted Report, which is not for publication by virtue of paragraph(s) 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.
