This involves turning Great Eastern Road, The Grove and the Broadway back into two way roads and providing more road space for pedestrians and cyclists. To assess the air quality impacts of the scheme monitoring was started at 4 locations on the system before works commenced. It is hoped that air pollution levels for the year 2020 (the first full year of operation) will show a decrease in pollution. No monitoring was undertaken during 2018 as any results would have been impacted by the construction works Site ID Site Name X (m) Y (m) Site Type In Distance from Distance to kerb Inlet Pollutants Tube co- AQMA? monitoring site of nearest road height monitored located with to relevant (N/A if not (m) an automatic exposure applicable) monitor?
