  • Revised Air Quality Action Plan
    Revised Air Quality Action Plan Executive Summary Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council’s Environmental Health Service has produced this Action Plan following the Review and Assessment of Air Quality in its district as part of its duty under the Environment Act 1995. The report follows on from the Stage III Assessment completed in 2000, Stage IV in August 2003, Detailed Assessment in July 2004 and further Detailed Assessment in March 2006. Work has continued following the declaration of 3 Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) at Bayston Hill (AQMA 01), Heathgates Island (AQMA 2) and Frankwell/Smithfield Road (AQMA 03). This includes further modelling and monitoring, which has indicated that Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2) levels in these areas are likely to rise unless action is taken. An Action Plan has therefore been drawn up investigating the various options available to tackle pollution levels, in particular from road traffic. The effects of these options are examined in detail, with the most effective package of measures (the Action Plan) chosen for implementation. An in-depth study of this package takes place within this document, concluding that the Action Plan should result in a reduction in Nitrogen Dioxide levels and will work towards meeting National Air Quality Objective (NAQO) levels. The Council will continue to monitor the levels in all 3 AQMAs and around its district generally as part of its ongoing air quality management duties. The measures in this Action Plan also work towards reducing levels of NO 2 in the enlarged Air Quality Management Area (03A) in the extended town centre, encompassing AQMA 03 Frankwell/Smithfield Road.

  • Shropshire Local Transport Plan 3 Evidence Base Part 3: Economy and Growth February 2011
    Shropshire Local Transport Plan 3 Evidence Base Part 3: Economy and Growth February 2011 1. Shropshire economic portrait1 Business & enterprise Shropshire has a predominantly small business economy, with 87% of businesses employing 10 or fewer staff (compared to 85% nationally and only 2.5% of business having over 50 employees (compared to 3.5% nationally), a higher percentage than any of our statistical (or regional) neighbours. Figure 3.1 Penetration of small businesses. Statistical neighbours 2008. However, there are a few major employers which account for a disproportionately large share of the county workforce. In some smaller market towns in particular, there is heavy reliance on a small number of large employers, which can mean that the choice of employment opportunities is narrow. It also leaves these towns vulnerable should one of the main employers go out of business or relocate. There are high levels of enterprise and entrepreneurship; with higher than average new VAT registrations, and good rates of business survival. Shropshire has high levels of self- employment, 11.8% in Shropshire compared with 9.2% nationally. Many self-employed have home based businesses, Shropshire ranks second in the UK for home-based enterprise. The nature of business enterprise in Shropshire reflects its rural character with agriculture, farm diversification and tourism playing an important part and employing significant numbers of people. Although the structure of the economy has changed significantly over the last two decades, with the emphasis increasingly on service industries rather than agriculture and manufacturing, many of Shropshire’s key sectors today have their origins in the land.
