Workshop on the Review of Local Air Quality Management in Scotland: Summary of Event and Associated Feedback September 2013

Environmental Protection Scotland, in conjunction with the Scottish Government, held a workshop event at Victoria Quay attended by 43 delegates representing 26 of the 32 Scottish Local Authorities, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Health Protection Scotland, Transport Scotland, consultancies and legal representatives. Delegates were split into five groups for the workshop discussions; the groups contained 6 or 7 delegates and were led by a facilitator and scribe from EPS’ Air Quality Expert Advisory Group. Within each group there was an equal split between Local Authorities which have declared an AQMA and those which haven’t. The workshop sessions focused on the consultation questions with discussion on each question and where appropriate a yes / no / no response vote was held.
