Warwick Council launches consultation on draft Air Quality Action Plan
Warwick District Council has launched a consultation on its draft Air Quality Action Plan for 2025 – 2030.
An Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) must be produced as part of the Council’s statutory duties required by the Local Air Quality Management framework. It outlines the action the Council will take to improve air quality in Warwick District.
The draft action plan suggests four priorities for the Council to focus on for improving air quality, including working collaboratively with other organisations such as Warwickshire County Council to increase active travel, the use of public transport and the use of low and zero emission vehicles.
The consultation runs until Monday 16th June 2025. Residents, business owners and anyone interested in improving the air quality in Warwick District can view the draft action plan, and complete the survey on the Council’s website.
Paper copies are also available at the Council’s Customer Service Hub in the Royal Pump Rooms, Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 4:30pm.
