Progress Report 2011 South Ayrshire Council May 2011 2011 Air Quality Progress Report for South Ayrshire Council In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management May 2011 Progress Report i April 2011 South Ayrshire Council - Scotland Local Gordon Lauder Authority Officer Department Development and Environment Address 3rd Floor Burns House, Burns Statue Square, Ayr, KA7 1UH Telephone 01292 616229 e-mail [email protected] Report SAPR2011 Reference number Date May 2011 Executive Summary South Ayrshire Council has carried out a review of air quality within South Ayrshire which fulfils the requirements of the Local Air Quality Management process as set out in Part IV of the Environment Act (1995), the Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 2007 and the report follows technical guidance LAQM.TG(09), (Reference1), issued by the Scottish Executive to assist Local authorities in their Review and Assessment of air quality. The report forms the Progress Report (PR) of the fourth round of the Review and Assessment process and includes latest available data up to the end of 2010. It also considers the conclusions of the previous rounds of Review and Assessment and any changes that have occurred since then that would have an effect on local air quality. The PR concluded that concentrations of the various air quality objectives are unlikely to be exceeded. A detailed assessment is therefore not required for South Ayrshire Council. An updating and screening assessment will be submitted to the Scottish Executive by the end of April 2012. ii Progress Report South Ayrshire Council May 2011 Table of contents 1 Introduction 4 1.1 Description of Local Authority Area 4 1.2 Purpose of Progress Report 4 1.3 Air Quality Objectives 4 1.4 Summary of Previous Review and Assessments 6 2 New Monitoring Data 7 2.1 Summary of Monitoring Undertaken 7 2.2 Comparison of Monitoring Results with Air Quality Objectives 13 3 New Local Developments 18 4 Local Transport Plans and Strategies 19 Appendices Appendix A: Appendix A: QA:QC Data Appendix B: NOx Diffusion Tubes 2010 (µg/m3) Appendix C: Results of Automatic Monitoring Station at Ayr High Street Appendix D: Results of Automatic Monitoring Station at Tarbolton Primary School, Tarbolton Appendix E: Results of Automatic Monitoring Station at Carrick Academy, Maybole List of Tables Table 1.1 Air Quality Objectives included in Regulations for the purpose of Local Air Quality Management in Scotland.

The eastern boundary of the council area lies approximately 30 kilometres inland. South Ayrshire is neighboured by East Ayrshire to the east, North Ayrshire to the north and Dumfries and Galloway Council to the south. The main commercial and residential centre of South Ayrshire is Ayr, which is situated on the west coast. The other main populated towns of Prestwick, Troon and Girvan are also situated on the west coast. The inland towns and villages are predominantly small communities, with the exception of Maybole which is a busy town. The main transportation route within South Ayrshire is the A77. The A77 connects the port of Stranraer, which is in the Dumfries and Galloway Council area to Glasgow. The A77 passes through the main west coast towns and villages from Stranraer to Turnberry at which point it heads inland, through Kirkoswald and Maybole, by-passing the outskirts of Ayr and Prestwick before heading north to Glasgow via Kilmarnock. Glasgow Prestwick International Airport is situated within South Ayrshire to the outskirts of Ayr and Prestwick. Glasgow Prestwick International Airport serves both international and domestic passenger flights as well as a large amount of freight transportation flights. 1.2 Purpose of Progress Report Progress Reports are required in the intervening years between the three-yearly Updating and Screening Assessment reports. Their purpose is to maintain continuity in the Local Air Quality Management process. They are not intended to be as detailed as Updating and Screening Assessment Reports, or to require as much effort. However, if the Progress Report identifies the risk of exceedence of an Air Quality Objective, the Local Authority (LA) should undertake a Detailed Assessment immediately, and not wait until the next round of Review and Assessment. 1.3 Air Quality Objectives The air quality objectives applicable to LAQM in Scotland are set out in the Air Quality (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (Scottish SI 2000 No 97), the Air Quality (Scotland) (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (Scottish SI 2002 No 297), and are shown in Table 1.1. This table shows the objectives in units of microgrammes per cubic metre, µg/m3 (milligrammes per cubic metre, mg/m3 for carbon monoxide) with the number of exceedences in each year that are permitted (where applicable). 4 Progress Report South Ayrshire Council May 2011 Table 1.1 Air Quality Objectives included in Regulations for the purpose of Local Air Quality Management in Scotland.

    AYRSHIRE MONOGRAPHS NO.25 The Street Names of Ayr Rob Close Published by Ayrshire Archaeological and Natural History Society First published 2001 Printed by The Cromwell Press Ltd, Trowbridge, Wiltshire Rob Close is the author of Ayrshire and Arran: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (1992), and is presently co-editor of Ayrshire Notes. He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.

  • SEPA Monitoring Assessment Update for Tarbolton Landfill – October 2020
    SEPA monitoring assessment update for Tarbolton Landfill – October 2020 This report provides: A summary of the changes to on-site work at Tarbolton Landfill due to COVID-19 restrictions A summary of recent site conditions A review of environmental monitoring, including data collected from 16 December 2019 to 15 October 2020 Information on any additional monitoring collected by SEPA to support the NHS-led Problem Assessment Group An update on work to establish potential options for management of the site COVID-19 Pandemic As Scotland is facing the biggest health emergency in living memory, SEPA will play its role in helping the nation manage this emergency in a way that protects and improves the environment. Prior to lockdown restrictions coming into place, SEPA continued to carry out environmental monitoring in line with the previous monitoring plan, with the last site visit prior to lockdown undertaken on 12 March 2020. Since then SEPA have been constrained in doing some of our normal key tasks such as routine site visits and monitoring, including at Tarbolton landfill site. As restrictions eased and following a review of our Health and Safety procedures, we have prioritised and reinstated site visits and monitoring at Tarbolton Landfill site and recommenced site activity at Tarbolton landfill in July 2020. We will review our approach in line with Scottish Government guidelines. Recent site conditions Over the 2019/2020 winter period, SEPA noted a continued deterioration in the general condition of Tarbolton landfill and in particular the eastern and southern side of the landfill site. Excess leachate observed in these areas appears to be affecting trees and other flora, which are beginning to die.

  • Spring 2010 Tenant Newsletter
    SPRING 2010 TENANT NEWSLETTER Ayrshire Housing completes more new homes in Prestwick The former leader of South Ayrshire Council, Councillor Hugh Hunter opened Ayrshire Housing’s latest development at Observer Court, Prestwick. Councillor Hunter and the Ayrshire Housing team are pictured here with tenant Fern Galloway, and some of her new neighbours who are delighted with their new homes. See Inside for: Get Ready for Summer Lochside Completion Staff News Ayrshire Housing completes more new homes in Prestwick Ayrshire Housing is delighted to announce the completion of 10 new homes for affordable rent in Prestwick. The new development, named Observer Court after the above-ground Royal Observer Corps shelter which was previously positioned here, is just off the Ayr Road and is a distinctive and impressive addition to the area, which has recently also seen substantial investment by South Ayrshire Council in the properties they own next to the development. The project was supported by generous grants from the Scottish Government and is the result of successful partnership between Ayrshire Housing and Kingcase Parish Church. The church released land for the creation of much needed affordable housing, which in turn facilitated the enlargement of their church hall. Indeed, campaigning group Scottish Churches Housing Action has highlighted the project nationally as an example of what a church with surplus land or buildings can do by working in partnership with its local housing association. The final stage of the partnership is the completion of the church’s new car park. The development was opened by the former leader of South Ayrshire Council, Councillor Hugh Hunter, who welcomed the creation of further housing for affordable rent in this area, as well as praising the long-standing relationship between Ayrshire Housing and South Ayrshire Council, which has delivered housing specially designed for people leaving residential care in the majority of our new housing developments.
