Air Quality SPD

The air quality in the County of Warwickshire has been documented as having one of the highest levels of
pollution in the country.

Our county is surrounded by M40/M42/M6/M5/M45 and with recent press coverage that there has been an
increase of 2.5 million additional cars on the roads in the last five years, it clearly shows that WDC are truly out of
touch in monitoring the sever high levels of pollution being added to this county, which is totally unsustainable.

Warwickshire has also the highest rate of Asthma diagnosis amongst youngsters in the country.

As a sufferer myself of bronchiectasis which has been the result of living near to the M40 since it was built , clearly shows
that there are many other suffers with respiratory conditions caused by heavy pollution being dispersed in now rural surroundings as well as towns and villages.

Also we would question any information that states pollution levels meet current standards in this district. The current rate of houses being built
Adds further pollution to residents lifestyle. Construction traffic dominates the projects for a year. Residents have to deal with dust and additional
Pollutants in the atmosphere, from cement mixers, running engines and the list is endless.

We would like to ask about the monitors placed on the A4177 and Ugly Bridge road back in July 2017. Which were logged
for just 36 hours?

We would question the ability of getting a true reading when this exercise was conducted in the school holidays and the
Levels of traffic were lower than they would be in normal term time.

Transport quite regularly comes to a grinding halt within the vicinity of Hatton Park, which was the case two weeks ago when traffic was gridlock from Hockley Heath
To Leamington following a major fire on North and southbound of the M40 near Henley in Arden.

Morning traffic from 7.30 - 9 am is at a standstill most days while queuing down the A4177 into Warwick. Residents all around are breathing in obnoxious air pollution from the exhaust fumes.

More houses means more cars means higher pollution, as it will take another two decades to address all cars becoming electric .

The only way to reduce pollution is stop desimating the green belt area.
Trees are being cut down when there should be more Planted to help keep the air cleaner.

I feel very sorry for the next generation who will not thank us for the way in which we have left this planet, by over populating small areas with thousands of houses which equate to more cars on the road.

2.5 million more cars on the road in just 5 years sends out a clear message to WDC in the way they address air pollution for the next 40 years.
