Decision:
RESOLVED: That Cabinet approved the Revocation Orders (as appended to this report) for the following areas:
• The No1. AQMA Stevenage Road Hitchin,
• The No2. AQMA Payne’s Park Hitchin.
REASON FOR DECISION: The reason for recommending the Revocation of the AQMAs is that there is no reasonable justification for retaining AQMAs where the air pollution levels can be shown to have significantly reduced below statutory air quality objectives as defined by HM Government within UK Air Quality Regulations.
