    2014 Air Quality Progress Report and Detailed Assessment for Southampton City Council In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management May 2015 Southampton City Council LAQM Progress Report 2013 1 Southampton City Council Local Authority Southampton City Council Officer Department Regulatory Services Address Civic Centre, Southampton Telephone 023 80917531 e-mail [email protected] Report Reference PR5 number Date May 2015 LAQM Progress Report 2013 2 Southampton City Council Executive Summary Southampton City Council has examined the results from 2013 monitoring in the Southampton Unitary Authority Area. Concentrations within most of the AQMAs still exceed the 40 µg/m3 annual mean standard for nitrogen dioxide at some relevant receptors and the AQMAs should remain. This Progress Report incorporates detailed assessments for four areas, Portswood Road; the southern section of Romsey Road, 2 residential receptors within the docks and Queens Terrace/Orchard Place. The detailed assessments have used NOx tube monitoring and appended at the end of the report as appendix B, C, D and E. This report recommends that the existing AQMA on Romsey Road is extended to include the NOx tube locations that are exceeding the 40 µg/m3 annual mean standard for nitrogen dioxide at the southern section, the junction with Shirley Road. The existing Bevois Valley AQMA should be extended to include the NOx tube locations that are exceeding the 40 µg/m3 annual mean standard for nitrogen dioxide on Portswood Road to the north. The monitoring in the docks at the residential receptors shows that this location is very unlikely to exceed the 40 µg/m3 annual mean standard for nitrogen dioxide, and no further action is required.

  • D-Day Marshalling and Embarkation Areas
    SECOND WORLD WAR - D-Day Marshalling and Embarkation Areas 1. Operation Overlord From April 1944, the east-coast, the south and west coastal areas of England and parts of south Wales were divided into a number of concentration areas known as Marshalling Areas (MAs). One or more MAs served an Embarkation Area (EA). Preliminary planning as regards to the layout of each area had been worked out the previous year, such as exercise 'Harlequin' – carried out within the Sussex District and Central Sussex Sub- District during August and September 1943. By mid-March 1944, the Overlord Marshalling & Concentration Area plans were being finalised, this was called the 'Sausage Plan' on account of the shape given to the MA boundaries when identified on a map. Command Responsibilities Eastern Command was required to provide concentration areas for all troops passing through Tilbury and London Docks. This included an infantry division plus accumulated residues totalling 104,000 troops. Felixstowe and Tilbury Docks were each to be allocated one reinforcement holding unit of 1,600 troops and one reinforcement group of three units of 4,800 troops within the concentration area. Southern Command's primary responsibility was to provide concentration areas for US Forces by direct arrangement with SOS ETOUSA. This was in addition to two British armoured brigades located in the Bournemouth /Poole Area, and 21 Army Group. One reinforcement holding unit was also required to be accommodated in each of the Portsmouth and Southampton MAs. British Airborne Forces required tented accommodation for 800 (all ranks) at certain airfields within the command from which the forces would operate.
