That the Executive Member be advised to accept air quality grants from DEFRA totalling £69,000 and allow the air quality projects outlined in the report to proceed.

Decision of the Executive Member

RESOLVED: That the advice of the Advisory Panel, as set out above, be accepted and endorsed.

REASON:      The DEFRA grant represents the most appropriate way of funding the continuation of Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) in the City.  LAQM is a statutory undertaking that contributes towards the Council’s corporate priorities on improving the health of residents and encouraging the use of public, and other environmentally friendly, modes of transport.
