It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. There are four Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in the Borough. They were declared because nitrogen dioxide levels were too high. These AQMAs are located at busy urban junctions where nearby buildings hinder the dispersion of traffic exhaust fumes: - Intack - Bastwell - Blackamoor - Four Lane Ends In general terms, there has been a gradual reduction in nitrogen dioxide exposure, and this reduction became more significant from 2017 onwards. There hasn’t been an exceedance at a relevant receptor4 during 2017 and 2018.

A ten-mile ride is possible for even the youngest riders, all we need to do is How could I or anybody else fail to enjoy the areas that surround us?
