Pollution control

Car exhaustWelcome to the pollution management area of the site. The Pollution team is primarily responsible for the administration and enforcement of the:

  • Environmental Protection Act 1990
  • Environment Act 1995
  • Control of Pollution Act 1974
  • Clean Air Acts.
These are concerned with pollution to land, air and, in some cases, water.

In line with the Government's Air Quality Strategy ( AQS ), the team is currently monitoring the quality of air in Redbridge.  We are also completing a 3rd stage review and assessment of Air Quality in the Borough.  The findings of the assessment will help to provide the information required to formulate the strategy for improving local air quality.

The team is also charged with the responsibility for developing the Redbridge Strategy for the identification of Contaminated Land.  This is a national requirement and every council in the UK is currently looking at this issue. A draft Strategy was available for consultation during October and November 2001.  This consultation period has now closed. 

The authority is also responsible for monitoring construction activities to minimise pollution caused by noise, dust and other nuisances.  If you have any queries or comments on this service, please complete the request for service form.
