| The air in Riby Square in Grimsby has long been polluted by exhaust from motor vehicles |
AIR quality seems to be improving in Grimsby.
For many years, fumes from vehicles and industry have been an issue along Cleethorpe Road and Peaks Parkway.
Back in September 2010, a monitoring exercise revealed the level of nitrogen dioxide at certain points in the town to be as much as 20 per cent above the legal limit .
Because the air was so contaminated at Riby Square, North East Lincolnshire Council was obliged to make junction alterations to help improve traffic flow and reduce the level of pollution.
This and other initiatives seems to have done the trick, because air quality is now said by NELC to be within the legal limit.
In a statement, portfolio holder for the environment Cllr Henry Hudson said: "All people in North East Lincolnshire should enjoy good health and wellbeing.
"The steps we have taken will improve the quality of life and life chances of our residents and enhance the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the borough."
