DECISION

Cabinet:

1.    Noted the consultation responses.

 

2.    Will ask the government once again to fund the practical solutions we asked for to tackle air pollution: car and van scrappage scheme to get the older more polluting cars off the roads, the same level of funding to support public transport, walking and cycling as councils in London get (11 times what Portsmouth gets), half price bus passes for all citizens to encourage people to leave their cars at home. These would make a real lasting difference to air quality and people's health and wellbeing across the whole of Portsmouth

 

3.    If the Government will not accede to these reasonable, sustainable requests then the CAZ should be implemented with the boundaries as in the original consultation document, but removing Kingston Crescent, Fratton Road, Fratton Bridge Roundabout and Holbrook Road Roundabout due to their inclusion resulting only in pollution being shifted to the east and south of the city.

 

4.    Recognised that any CAZ will only be in place to secure compliance for two locations, A3 Alfred Road and A3 Mile End Road/Commercial Road, as per the government guidance and is not intended to address the air pollution, air quality or people's wellbeing issues in the whole of Portsmouth.
