B&NES Procurement Strategy

The purpose of this strategy is to explain how the procurement and commissioning functions will address our core policies; to address the Climate Emergency and to give people a bigger say. It is important that we also ensure that our procurement and commissioning functions deliver effective value for money.

Bath Clean Air Zone (CAZ) monitoring reports 2023

Bath's Clean Air Zone monitoring reports 2023

  • Published date: 05 September 2024
  • Last updated: 06 September 2024

Details

We are committed to regularly reporting on the impact of the CAZ on air quality, traffic flow, vehicle compliance and other measures so that we can monitor progress against the plan set out in our full business case. The business case also outlines why a clean air zone is necessary in Bath.

The key objective of the scheme is to reduce Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) concentrations to within the annual mean limit of 40 μg/m3 in the shortest time possible at all individual monitoring locations in Bath, while minimising the impact on local businesses and residents.

These documents contain the full monitoring data from 2023.
