Air Pollution (Fife)

McLeod, Aileen SNP South Scotland Watch on SPTV

The Scottish Government continues to work closely with Fife Council, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Transport Scotland and other partners to improve air quality in Fife.

Fife Council has produced an air quality action plan for the Cupar air quality management area, which is regularly cited as an example of best practice. The plan contains a comprehensive range of measures, including an effective public awareness-raising campaign. The plan has contributed to reducing pollutant levels to the extent that no exceedances of the objectives for nitrogen dioxide or particulate matter were recorded during 2014.

An action plan for Fife’s other air quality management area at Appin Crescent, Dunfermline, is also in place. It aims to mirror the success in Cupar.
