Overview
Defra has produced Practice Guidance on some of the more directly effective and ambitious measures that local authorities can take to improve air quality. Local authorities may find the Practice Guidance useful if they are considering establishing one of the schemes covered by the guidance. The guidance also refers to existing policy on economic and appraisal.
