Ewell Removes Air Quality Management Area After Emissions Fall

Ewell removes Air Quality Management Area after emissions fall

Ewell High Street's nitrogen dioxide emissions have been monitored since 2007.

Air quality restrictions on Ewell High Street have been unexpectedly lifted.

Epsom and Ewell Borough Council made the decision last night following a notable fall in Nitrogen Dioxide levels. The authority began taking action in 2007 after traffic was named as the cause for an increase in pollution levels along the busy route. A re-design of the High Street junction with Cheam Road is one of the reasons we are told for the fall in pollution levels.
