Government is not yet taking a sufficiently integrated approach to tackling the problem of poor air quality. Measures to tackle air pollution on the strategic road network risk displacing heavy vehicle traffic onto local roads. Although government is aware of this risk, we are not clear what specific actions are being taken to work with local authorities to manage this risk, and National Highways has not published criteria that set out the point at which this possibility renders a particular measure non-viable. In addition to working with local authorities, central government is starting to develop opportunities Tackling local air quality breaches 7 to work with local health and education providers to support air quality communications campaigns, such as through a pilot project working with around 40 GPs and awards through the local air quality grants programme. The Departments for Business, Energy, Innovation and Skills (BEIS) and for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) are also important partners for addressing issues of air quality. Recommendation: The update to the National Air Pollution Control Programme should set out how government will ensure full integration between the different areas of responsibility with an impact on air quality.
