Air quality reports

We produce Annual Status Reports on air quality within Waverley. These provide an overview of air quality, consider the latest air quality monitoring data and update progress on actions to improve air quality.

We compile these reports in accordance with the Local Air Quality Monitoring (LAQM) Policy and Technical Guidance and submit them to Defra. You can download recent reports below.
