Motion NDM7264 Siân Gwenllian

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Believes that air pollution is a public health crisis, which contributes to an estimated 2,000 deaths a year in Wales.

2. Notes that large areas of Wales do not monitor air quality.

3. Calls for a clean air act for Wales, which would include measures to:

a) give communities the right to have pollution-monitoring equipment outside of schools and hospitals;

b) create infrastructure that would enable local authorities to introduce pollution and congestion charges where appropriate,

c) reform the planning process to require the impact of a development on air pollution to be given greater weight in the planning system;

d) accelerate the transition to an electric transport system so that petrol and diesel cars are phased out by 2030.
