Air Quality failure to act.by all Authorities

As a constituent regarding ongoing and foreseeable environmental harm to residents living approximately ten metres from the A38, a designated Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). For the last five consecutive days, residents have been exposed to around 12 hours per day of stationary or near-stationary traffic much of it freight ,immediately outside our homes. This is sustained, involuntary exposure for a captive residential population. Exposed to similar harm for 14 days only months ago. This location has been identified by DfT and DEFRA as high risk. The council national highways WMCA DEFRA and DFT therefore has clear prior knowledge of both exceedance and vulnerability. Despite this, no effective measures have been taken to prevent prolonged queuing traffic, contrary to duties under Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 and the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) framework, which require active pursuit of exposure reduction once an AQMA is declared. Yet noise light air quality vibrations dust have increased to very harmful levels. There are also clear implications for the council’s government public health duty under the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

In addition to vehicle emissions, residents are now exposed to continuous fumes from an operational tarmac/asphalt plant, with emissions released from a stack, further compounding exposure and health harm in this life span loss community. Of serious concern, the nearby roadside AURN monitor was removed, eliminating independent monitoring during a period of heightened pollution risk industrial zoning freight corridors diversion emergency routes and preventing contemporaneous evidence of exposure including extreme noise levels in a noise mapping ward. Residents have previously raised environmental harm with all authorities and the council. The continuation of these conditions raises issues of failure to act following notice, not an unforeseen event. I ask that you urgently intervene to require the council to account for:

Prolonged congestion within an AQMA affecting residential dwellings

Removal of the AURN monitor and how compliance was assessed in its absence In a M6 diversion route immediate measures to prevent further exposure Given the sustained nature of this harm, this matter now clearly engages statutory accountability. By all the Authorities who have knowledge of documented harm and Neglectfully fail to address . The discrimination is very real .
