Olaf Hansen, Clerk to the Committee, advised that Mr.Nelson had received the following reply from Messrs Lunt and Martin of the Department of Built Environment, “The Council is currently undertaking an exercise to review the air quality impacts of port expansion and this will examine the impact of different modes of transporting cargo. This process involves modelling the air quality impacts of the increases in vehicle, train and ship movements associated with port expansion using an air pollution dispersion model supported by increased monitoring in the study area. The modelling will be undertaken by Council Officers but independent consultants have been appointed to advise on the modelling process and critically appraise the outcomes. Officers are also working closely with the consultants appointed by the Highways Agency, to advise on the options for improving access to the port, to examine the air quality implications of each option. The statutory Local Air Quality Management, Review and Assessment process, which involves 3 yearly Updating and Screening Assessments and annual Progress Reports will continue and this will entail an ongoing review of levels of key pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter and sulphur dioxide, in line with Defra guidance. The Council will be commissioning a health impact assessment of the port expansion, that will incorporate the findings of the air quality study, and this will examine the impact on health of the port expansion as a whole including the increase in all types of cargo movements”. b) Mr.J.Benton MP forwarded a petition from the chair of Captains Lane Residents’ Committee (CLRC) who wanted to engage support for the campaign to install speed ramps in Captains Lane. The Chair, Councillor John Kelly advised that the petition would be considered by the Cabinet Member – Transportation, Councillor Fairclough at his next briefing meeting. c) Mr.F.Roberts, Advisory Group Member, asked whether European attempts to get the UK to reduce emissions had resulted in a length of motorway having to impose a 60MPH limit. Did this Committee know what this effect was locally given that more roads were being made 20mph zones and whether this was positive or negative to our air quality. This was important considering that part of this area (Linacre) had the lowest life expectancy (69.7 yrs.) for men and (76.9yrs) for women as reported to this Committee earlier in 2014. Page2 6 Agenda Item 3 SOUTH SEFTON AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 12TH JUNE, 2014 Olaf Hansen, Clerk to the Committee read out a reply from Messrs. Lunt and Martin, Department of Built Environment, “The speed of a vehicle is one factor that influences polluting emissions; driving style and engine type are other important factors. In general terms vehicle emissions are higher at slow speeds dropping as speeds increase to moderate speeds and then increasing again as higher speeds attained.
