While the Council has made progress in some areas, it has performed poorly, and in some cases disastrously when it comes to transport and tackling pollution. Maybe questions need to be asked of the Council and what their plan actually is to improve the situation!
Do the NO2 levels in a significant proportion of neighbourhoods within the council’s area exceed the safe World Health Organisation (WHO) air pollution guidelines?
Negatively Scored Question – Two-tier
A council will be negatively scored if they have 25% or more LSOAs (Lower-layer Super Output Areas) above the World Health Organisations (WHO) PM 2.5 guidelines.
Negative marks applied for the first tier: -2% of the maximum possible section score.
A council will be further negatively scored if they have 75% or more LSOAs (Lower-layer Super Output Areas) above the World Health Organisations (WHO) PM 2.5 guidelines.
Negative marks applied for the second tier: -4% of the maximum possible section score.
