Cabinet considered a report recommending the approval of the Cheshire East Air Quality Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy was to ensure that air quality was taken into account in all relevant decisions of the Council.
In response to concerns expressed by Councillor S Corcoran regarding poor air quality levels in Middlewich Road, Sandbach, and the health implications for children walking to school, the Portfolio Holder for Housing, Planning and Regeneration confirmed that air quality levels in Middlewich Road were being monitored and were currently below the level at which they would be considered unsafe.
RESOLVED
That the Air Quality Strategy be approved.
