Across Cardiff, there are some localised areas where air pollution is problematic, I think mainly as a result of road traffic emissions. At these locations, we have air quality management areas that have been declared as such by the local authority. It’s their duty to tackle local air quality. I’ve been assured that their action plans will all be in place shortly in accordance with statutory guidance.

I think addressing air pollution really requires a collaborative approach. We are currently, as I said, reviewing the responses to the public consultation, and I’m hoping, the results of that consultation, I’m going to feed to local authorities, because as I say, it is their responsibility to make sure that they fulfil all their requirements.
