The final vote is on the motion as amended.

(Translated)

Motion NDM7264 as amended:

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. Calls for a new national air pollution monitoring network that complements Wales’ existing monitoring capabilities.

3. Further notes that air pollution exacerbates existing lung conditions and is a cause of asthma and lung cancer, and that the long-term impacts of poor air quality are not yet fully understood.

4. Calls for a clean air act for Wales, and for Welsh Government and UK Government to take decisive action to strengthen all measures, using legislation where necessary, 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.
