Shropshire Council air quality reports
Shropshire Council reports on air quality in line with the national Local Authority Management Regime guidance produced by DEFRA. Below are links to our most recent reports:
Annual reports to DEFRA
- Annual Status Report 2023 (Awaiting DEFRA Appraisal)
- Annual Status Report 2022
- Annual Status Report 2021
- Annual Status Report 2020
- Annual Status Report 2019 (NB this report was not approved by DEFRA as diffusion tube monitoring left tubes out for two months with the result being inputted for both months rather than the data being emitted and annualisation of the data set occurring. If you are using this data set for assessment purposes please note this and carry out any relevant amendments to the dataset as may be required to ensure your assessment is robust).
- Annual Status Report 2018
- Annual Status Report 2017
- Annual Status Report 2016: Shropshire Councils Annual Status Report for 2016 was combined with the USA 2015. This approach was confirmed as appropriate by DEFRA and therefore no separate report was produced.
